Bread & Roses Community Fund Seeks Climate Justice Fund Senior Coordinator 

Do you enjoy supporting movement organizers, managing a well-curated to-do list, and collaborating with coworkers? 

About Us
Bread & Roses Community Fund is a social justice fund and the Philadelphia region’s leading funder of grassroots organizing for racial, social, and economic justice. Our slogan is, “change, not charity,” and our goal is radical transformation of society. Since 1977, we have been connecting donors and organizers to move money to grassroots organizing for real change. We also provide training to movements for change, and work to build community across differences of race and class. Each year we raise every dollar that we give out in grants, and community members decide where that money goes. 

About the Climate Justice Fund
Climate change is already impacting our daily lives, disrupting our food, health, safety, housing, and education systems among others. Climate injustices, ranging from extreme heat and storms to supply chain disruptions to lack of access to clean water, are born disproportionately by people of color, poor and working-class people, people with disabilities, women, and LGBTQIA+ people. Local organizer, activist, and politician Nikil Saval explains, “Our housing crisis and our climate crisis are inextricable. The fight for affordable utilities, the fight for safe communities, the fight for housing security, and the fight for equity and justice are all the same fight.” 

Given how interconnected climate change is with so many other issues—and how little has been gained historically by isolating “environmental” issues in their own silo—this new fund will provide resources to groups organizing to advance climate justice in many forms. Like all our grant funds at Bread & Roses, community members will drive the design of the fund and distribution of the grants, and the fund will focus on issues prioritized by communities suffering most acutely from the climate crisis and the policies and practices causing it.
