Mission and Background
Environment California is a policy and action group with tens of thousands of supporters across the state. Our mission is to protect clean air, clean water and open space. Environment California led the effort to commit California to generating 100 percent of our electricity from clean, renewable sources by 2045. We’ve also reduced plastic pollution flowing into the Pacific Ocean, we’ve stopped oil drilling and blocked efforts to expand fracking, and protected our parks and beaches and forests throughout the state.
As the Electrification Advocate, you will meet with local decision-makers and opinion leaders and represent our organization to allies and the media, help to build and foster our membership, grassroots and online base of support and help recruit staff and volunteers to join us, fundraise for our programs, and maintain good systems for tracking and building on our work. This position requires exercising discretion and independent judgment in making decisions in matters of significance.
