Central Florida Jobs With Justice (CFJWJ)

What Central Florida Jobs With Justice (CFJWJ) does

Central Florida Jobs With Justice (CFJWJ) is a nonprofit advocacy coalition founded circa 2004 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with a satellite organizing presence in Tampa. The coalition was formally chartered with the national Jobs with Justice network in 2008 and operates with a staff of approximately 13 people, drawing together labor unions (Unite Here 737, SEIU, UAW, CWA Local 3108, United Steelworkers Local 675), faith communities (Faith in Florida), student and youth groups (Dream Defenders, Sunrise Movement Orlando, Florida Student Power Network), and civic/immigrant organizations (Florida Immigrant Coalition, Poder Latinx, Hablamos Español Florida, Equal Ground). CFJWJ's mission centers on building collective power for working families in Central Florida across worker rights, climate justice, healthcare access, housing, and economic equity.

The coalition's core service offerings consist of grassroots organizing campaigns, coalition coordination across partner organizations, policy advocacy (including direct lobbying on utility rates, Medicaid expansion, tenant protections, and labor standards), an individual membership program with a $60/year minimum donation and a pledge to attend three actions and two quarterly meetings, a recurring sustaining donor program, action-alert email communications, and occasional research publications such as the Heat Stress in the Workplace report. CFJWJ does not operate as a technology company; it has no proprietary software, no API, no SDK, and no mobile applications, and its web presence runs on a standard Squarespace CMS.

CFJWJ's revenue model is a nonprofit membership-and-donation structure: individual memberships starting at $60 annually (tax-deductible), monthly or periodic sustaining donor pledges at any amount, and likely institutional grants coordinated through coalition partners such as the national Jobs with Justice, Florida for All Education Fund, and Green New Deal Network. Specific revenue, budget, or grant totals are not publicly disclosed. The organization's most consequential measurable outcome to date is leading the advocacy campaign that resulted in Orange County eliminating over $472.5 million in medical debt for approximately 310,000 residents, a 2024 initiative. CFJWJ also produces policy research, hosts public roundtables (most recently the May 2026 'Fighting for the American Dream' event with Rep. Maxwell Frost), and participates in national coalitions including the Green New Deal Network and Florida for All.
