NAHJ Career Center New Job Senior Media Manager: , New York Equal Justice USA
About us: Equal Justice USA (EJUSA) is a national organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma. We work at the intersection of criminal justice, public health, and racial justice to elevate healing and safety over punishment, advance racial equity, and meet the needs of survivors.
We build community safety by:
* strengthening and expanding community-led solutions to violence;
* building capacity for those community-led organizations and getting them the funding that they need—by advocating for policy that promotes alternatives to policing and punitive systems; and
* changing the narrative around justice, reducing the harm of our current system, and building a justice system that actually delivers safety and well-being.
EJUSA has a bold vision for healing and equity that directly aligns with this urgent national moment – making this an exciting time to join our team and design the next phase of EJUSA’s strategy!
Our team members: EJUSA is a team of fierce organizers and advocates, many of whom have been touched by violence and the justice system. We bring a broad span of perspectives to our work, united by one common belief that everyone deserves safety, healing, equity, and well-being.
What it’s like to work here: EJUSA is a special place to work. Our team is made up of passionate and collaborative leaders who treat each other as whole people. Our organizational culture is rooted in the values that drive our mission, so we work to ensure that equity, partnership, transcending divides, and healing are embedded into every aspect of our daily operations, from staff policies to salaries. We are an entirely remote organization and have been honing ways of building and maintaining trust across our team virtually since long before the rest of the world had to.
About this role: We seek an enterprising, ideas-driven storyteller and effective communicator with skills in relationship building, writing, and data management. This position will work closely with members of the Communications team and Programs staff to sell the story of our work, place the organization and its staff externally in media stories, and author opinion pieces that uplift the work, mission, and vision of EJUSA. The successful candidate will develop relationships and trust with our Programs staff, external partners, and community members to share their work and stories with media outlets. The ideal candidate will be an excellent writer with a deep understanding of the news media, someone who will know how to pitch—or “sell”—the many stories of our work.
EJUSA has 47 staff members throughout the country, and a small national office in Brooklyn, NY. This position will report to the Chief of Strategic Communications.… See more jobs at www.nahjcareers.org #MoreLatinosinNews
