Jobs with Justice San Francisco (JwJSF) is a long term, multi-racial alliance of labor unions 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. 

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, housing and climate justice.  

By building a strong multiracial and multi-issue alliance rooted in long-term relationships and solidarity, we have the power to win real systems change.
