REGENERATE CA CAMPAIGN MANAGER
POSITION DESCRIPTION
CEJA is at an exciting milestone in our movement to a 100% clean energy future. Together with the Sierra Club, we have laid the groundwork and recently launched a state-wide campaign with the vision to transition off of dirty and dangerous gas plants in California, and create a regenerative and just clean energy economy. This campaign, called
Regenerate California, has already achieved several victories in its first year, thanks to the dedicated work and talent of our organizers, community leaders, and legal team. Now, we are looking to expand our campaign, strengthen our alignment and partnerships, and push the State to power up clean energy and power down dirty gas in a way that is just and equitable. The Campaign Manager is a new full-time contract position that will help CEJA manage and organize the Regenerate California campaign in 2021+ so we can maximize our power and success.
On Saturday, the newspaper publisher McClatchy tweeted a happy early Mother’s Day to all the moms in the company. “We are proud to support you with our new paid parental leave,” the tweet read. “While still in the process of reaching agreements with some of our guilds, we look forward to the opportunity for all of our new parents to enjoy this great new benefit!” On Sunday, one such guild representing staffers at the
Miami Herald and its sister title,
El Nuevo Herald pushed back: McClatchy, the guild said, not only denied paid leave to a new mom in its newsroom, but also rejected colleagues’ offer to donate her nearly fifteen hundred hours of their own accumulated sick leave and paid time off. “The reason?” the guild wrote. “McClatchy said it sees our colleague as a bargaining chip in contract negotiations an attempt to divide and pressure us into accepting the company’s harmful proposals as we negotiate our first contract.”
June 21, 2018This morning, staffers at The Appeal a nonprofit news site focused primarily on issues of criminal justice made the sort of announcement that’s become remarkably commonplace over the past couple of years: They were forming a union. And honestly, these days, that move is as much about a tweet as a filing with the NLRB.
We ask @theappeal to voluntarily recognize our union so that we can get to work on improving The Appeal’s workplace culture and conditions.

With a union, workers and management can turn a corner together, rectify working conditions, and produce more powerful and mission-driven journalism.

TALLAHASSEE â State police have dropped their investigation into a program by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg to pay off court debts for Floridians with felony convictions so they could vote in last yearâs presidential election.
After devoting more than 700 man hours to the case, which included reviewing 7,600 records and trying to interview more than 100 people, agents found no evidence that anyone was told to vote for a specific political party as a condition of having their outstanding court fees and fines paid off, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement said Wednesday.

Florida GOP complaints about Bloomberg and voter fraud come up empty in latest investigation
investigated.
On Wednesday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement told POLITICO that it had found nothing illegal in an effort pushed by New York City billionaire Mike Bloomberg and others to help pay off the fines and fees of convicted felons seeking to become eligible to vote.
Top Florida GOP politicians suggested Bloomberg was offering money to people to vote a certain way in the 2020 presidential election, an allegation that put a cloud over the work of the statewide group that was behind a push to restore voting rights to convicted felons. Bloomberg pledged up to $100 million in Florida alone to defeat President Donald Trump.
