Home to 39 million residents, California is the most populous state in the U.S. and represents the world’s sixth largest economy.

Jobs to Move America is transforming the way our public dollars are used to generate greater racial, gender, and economic justice.

Together, we will build a society and an economy that works for all: one where our air is clean, our infrastructure is sound, and every job is a good one.
