Previously, Jimenez served as senior director of government affairs at Citizens Climate Lobby (CCL), and as associate director of government relations at Ocean Conservancy. The timing was right, as the nation engaged in a long-overdue reckoning with racism that prompted considerable soul-searching within the (very white) mainstream environmental movement.
