About Jobs with Justice San Francisco
Jobs with Justice San Francisco (JWJSF) is a long term, multi-racial alliance of labor unions, worker centers and community groups supporting workers' rights and fighting for economic, racial and gender justice. Our member groups represent service workers, domestic workers, healthcare workers, educators, city workers, seniors, people with disabilities, tenants, students and more. Our coalition connects people-workers, Black and Brown people, immigrants, queer and gender-oppressed folks-to build collective power and win real systems change.
We believe as Audre Lorde said, "There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives." Working people need good jobs with dignity and a voice at work, quality and equitable public education, affordable housing and a liveable climate. We see economic, racial and gender justice as intersecting and necessary to each other. Our current programs focus on workers rights and climate justice.
