Environmental group F Minus is seeking a dynamic and experienced leader for its work in Oregon, which is focused on pressuring local governments, businesses, nonprofits and other organizations being harmed by the climate crisis to stop employing fossil fuel lobbyists.
Despite the climate crisis, fossil fuel lobbyists continue to enjoy a positive or merely neutral image in the Oregon state legislature because many of them also represent mainstream businesses or organizations whose activities are perceived as beneficial. The Oregon Director will create and lead a coalition of environmental, democracy, social justice, and other groups who will pressure organizations to adopt policies of not working with lobbyists who represent fossil fuel interests; and pressure lobbying firms to stop working with fossil fuel companies. This job involves holding not just fossil fuel interests accountable, but also progressive, ostensibly climate-conscious entities whose own lobbyists are contributing to the climate crisis.
