2024 CFJwJ Top Organizing Priorities
-
We advocate for transitioning our economy from extraction-based to regenerative, ensuring a Just Transition that enables everyone to thrive. That means organizing individuals to hold their electric companies accountable and fighting for investments that ensure Florida is climate resilient in the face of extreme heat and extreme weather.
-
We're mobilizing energy-burdened individuals to hold electric companies accountable for passing on rising costs and neglecting energy-efficient solutions.
-
CFJWJ has worked statewide to improve healthcare access by raising awareness and advocating for change. In 2024, we’ve partnered with local leaders to secure over $400 million in medical debt relief from Orange County commissioners.
-
Alongside our Education Alliances, we're empowering local parent leaders with advanced organizing skills to tackle education issues at local and statewide levels. We believe in quality public education that is strengthened when students, parents, teachers and educators work together.
