PDX envisions a vibrant, resilient, people-powered movement driving the transition away from fossil fuels and the extractive economy toward clean, accessible energy and a livable climate for all people, for generations to come.

Our mission is to connect, train, and activate Portlanders to fight injustice and create bold, equitable climate solutions.

We advance climate justice by ending our dependence on fossil fuels, expanding clean energy and healthy ecosystems, and ensuring these transitions are equitable. Through grassroots organizing, coalition building, and policy advocacy, we mobilize a broad and diverse community — from neighborhood volunteers to city hall — to drive change from the ground up.

You will bring the ideas, the expertise, and the plan — and work with leadership and colleagues to align and move forward together.
