Privacy and Surveillance Activist
Electronic Frontier Foundation
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, is seeking a full-time activist. This position will focus on privacy issues—particularly on advocacy around government surveillance.

You can produce excellent written work for the web, often under very tight deadlines. You excel at bringing people together to work for a common purpose and keeping a positive attitude while navigating disagreements. You can read and understand legal or highly technical information and explain complicated issues gracefully. You’re a great project manager who can see a major project through to completion while also handling smaller, day-to-day tasks.
Duties
*Writing blog posts and other materials on issues related to privacy and civil liberties.
*Developing and managing online campaigns urging EFF members to speak out to their members of Congress and other policymakers.
*Research and write bill opposition/support letters, fact sheets, and other materials to educate lawmakers on digital rights issues.
*Develop and maintain relationships with national networks of coalition partners.
*Organize and coordinate campaigns with partner organizations.
Requirements
Excellent writing skills, including writing and editing collaboratively

Education Team Member (Cultural Organizer)
Highlander Research and Education Center
Highlander assumes that people and their communities have cultural practices that help them move forward, work together with others, build bridges, celebrate, and inspire action. For Highlander, Cultural Organizing places art and culture at the center of an organizing strategy to shift and move progressive policies and practices within marginalized communities. For additional thinking on Cultural Organizing from a Highlander perspective, read this: https://culturalorganizing.org/interview-with-ebony-noelle-golden-part-2/
Drawing upon decades of resources and cutting-edge cultural work, Highlander’s new Cultural Organizer will build upon Highlander’s long-standing Cultural Organizing programing, integrating cultural organizing practice into & across existing educational programs and organizational practices while identifying, connecting, convening, and supporting emerging cultural organizers across the US South. A specific desire of the new Cultural Organizer is that they can incorporate a deep knowledge of and respect for spirit- and faith-rooted practices and healing justice into our current curricula, train emerging cultural organizing to do the same, and serve as point staff-person for faith and spirit-rooted movement formations in the region and beyond.
The Cultural Organizing team member will be an integral part of the Education Team. The Cultural Organizer will design a program that supports emerging cultural organizers in the South, including Appalachia. The Cultural Organizer is also responsible for coordinating the design, implementation, budgeting, evaluation and documentation of leadership development programming. The position requires exercising a high degree of discretion and independent judgment.

FUNDING: We Shall Overcome Fund due June 1st
Highlander Research and Education Center
”We Shall Overcome” served as the theme song of the Civil Rights Movement and is now a worldwide anthem for freedom and justice. Since 1966, the Highlander Research and Education Center has administered the We Shall Overcome Fund, which is generated by royalties from the commercial use of the song “We Shall Overcome.”
We Shall Overcome Fund support has been vital to the success of cultural and social programs in rural and urban communities throughout the South. Our funding provides critical support to initiate and sustain innovative efforts at the nexus of culture and social change.
Purpose:
Created to nurture grassroots efforts within African American communities to use art and activism against injustice, the We Shall Overcome Fund supports organizing in the South that is at the nexus of culture and social change.
Because of the song’s history and use in the primarily southern-based struggle against racism and injustice, African American communities must benefit from Fund-supported projects. We strongly encourage proposals from diverse racial and ethnic communities working in coalition to end racism, economic and environmental injustice, sexism and homophobia.
The We Shall Overcome Fund supports a wide range of projects including:
-Performance and visual arts projects linked to or directly serving efforts that seek to transform unjust social, economic, and political environments/conditions/imbalances
-Workshops, conferences, and research projects that use arts and culture to build coalitions, share information, inspire, and mobilize people to take action
-Preservation of Civil Rights Movement documents; multi-media research projects that document and share the history of the Movement

We are a loving and powerful community of women with incarcerated loved ones and include cisgender women, transgender women, formerly incarcerated women, gender nonconforming people, elders, and young people. After four years of focused base building, we are seeking a Director of Campaigns and Advocacy to develop and carry out campaigns that leverage our collective power and transform systems of control and confinement.
The Director of Campaigns and Advocacy is a visionary campaigner-at-heart and an experienced leader of people and teams.

Director of Membership and Organizing
Essie Justice Group
The Opportunity
Essie Justice Group (“Essie”) is building grassroots power to dismantle the US incarceration system, the most egregious creator of racial and gender injustice of our time. We are a loving and powerful community of women with incarcerated loved ones and include cisgender women, transgender women, formerly incarcerated women, gender nonconforming people, elders, and young people. We want to reach the 1 in 4 women who have loved ones behind bars and bring them into our sisterhood for social justice. After four years of testing our Healing to Advocacy organizing model (graduating 17 cohorts and over 100 women into our membership in California), we are ready to build the first national community of women with incarcerated loved ones in the United States. We seek an exceptional leader to join our team and help us organize hundreds of thousands of women across the country.
The person filling this new senior-level position will be responsible for creating a membership structure and adapting our existing Healing to Advocacy Program to engage women with incarcerated loved ones across the United States. The Director of Membership and Organizing, like all organizers at Essie, knows the power of interpersonal organizing. But, what makes the Director of Membership and Organizing special is that they passionately obsess over the development of participatory systems, structures, and programming that allow what’s working locally to be available to hundreds of thousands of women across the country. As distinct from the day-to-day work of campaigns or policy, the ideal candidate finds their movement energy in program development, political education, curricula building, and deep work with members.
As a senior leader at the organization, the Director of Membership and Organizing will help shape our present and future—contributing to strategic decision making in the present while helping architect Essie’s growth in alignment with our values. Follow link to full posting
