We envision a world in which tackling the climate crisis, confronting environmental injustice, and strengthening our democracy lead to cleaner and healthier communities, good, well-paying jobs, and a more just, equitable, and sustainable planet for all. For more than 50 years, LCV has fought for solutions to the interconnected threats our environment and democracy face. We do so by working with and holding elected officials accountable, mobilizing, organizing, and building grassroots power in communities, electing candidates who share our values, and partnering with and supporting our 30+ state affiliates across the country.

At the same time, we are growing the infrastructure and leadership in communities that result in families and communities of color having the political clout to stand up to polluters and demand accountability from decision makers who have turned a blind eye to environmental racism and inequities in their communities. This leadership is essential not only at the community-level, but also for ensuring that LCV, our state affiliate partners, and mainstream environmental organizations become more racially diverse, integrate justice and equity into their priorities and analyses, and become more inclusive organizations that better represent and reflect all communities in the U.S. LCV is hiring a Senior Director of Organizing Programs and Campaigns who will have extensive experience in advocacy, organizing, and campaign strategy, with demonstrated success in developing and managing large-scale advocacy initiatives that center community voice and power.
