People's Action Institute is seeking a seasoned organizer with a track record of building a grassroots base through campaigns. The Climate Justice Lead Organizer for the People and Planet First campaign will believe in the necessity of both local and national campaigns - and the interplay between them - to win climate justice at the scale and speed that the crisis requires. Our current climate justice campaigns include challenging utility companies that are blocking clean energy and raising rates for fossil fuels, winning Inflation Reduction Act investments for working-class communities, and stopping the buildout of new fossil fuel infrastructure. If building grassroots power to tackle the climate crisis sounds like something you or someone you know may be interested in, please apply! #nowhiring #climatejustice https://lnkd.in/gcw3cypg To learn more about us, please visit https://lnkd.in/efphMzRD!
