Just Vision - Operations Coordinator
Just Vision highlights the power and reach of Palestinians and Israelis working to end the occupation and build a future of freedom, dignity, equality and human security using nonviolent means. Our overarching goal is to contribute to fostering peace and an end to the occupation by rendering Palestinian and Israeli grassroots leaders more visible, valued and effective in their efforts. We drive attention to compelling local role models in unarmed movement-building and demonstrate to journalists, community leaders, public intellectuals and students – in the US, Israel, Palestine and beyond – what is possible when leaders at the grassroots choose to act. We tell their under-documented stories through award-winning films, digital media and targeted public education campaigns that undermine stereotypes, inspire commitment and galvanize action.
Just Vision is a team of human rights advocates, journalists, and filmmakers who have a reputation for leadership, credibility and excellence. Based in Washington DC, New York and East Jerusalem, we are a small, highly motivated team that encourages individual growth and initiative.
We are seeking a full-time Operations Coordinator to be based in Washington, DC. This is a fast-paced job within a dynamic, high-performing team.
