Jobs with Justice, SF

This past year, we've weathered the daunting crises of the pandemic, wealth inequality, and climate change. Nonetheless, we've shown that our collective action has a real impact in people’s lives. As we look ahead to the work of strengthening worker power in the Bay Area – from a just recovery, to affordable housing, to tackling the climate crisis – we must continue investing in each other.

The relationships between consumers and brands are deepening and we’ve come to expect that our favorite brands share our world views and values. As a result, the decisions that organizations make around their brand voice, the causes they support, the way they produce and distribute their merchandise are closely watched by loyal and perspective customers.
