Americans for Financial Reform (AFR) is seeking an Advocacy Coordinator for the Take on Wall Street campaign.
The Take on Wall Street Campaign strives to insure that the voices of working people and consumers are heard above the power and influence of Wall Street. We want a fair economy where everyone has a chance to thrive, not one that protects the wealthy and the well-connected, while working families -- especially communities of color –are pushed further behind.
We are looking for a talented and driven organizer to join our campaign on rewriting the rules of the economy by working with allies and partners across the country to advance groundbreaking policy campaigns at the state and national level. This will include advocacy on eliminating tax loopholes that benefit wealthy Wall Street fund managers; working to break up "too big to fail" banks; strengthening regulations against predatory financial abuses and traps; and other organizing as needed to hold Wall Street and big banks accountable.
The Advocacy Coordinator will be responsible for:
● Managing a field advocacy campaign including: working closely with state and local partners on grassroots and grasstops outreach, public education, mobilization, and advocacy strategies;
● Working closely with state and local partners to plan and execute direct actions and media events;
● Tracking and reporting on grassroots and grasstops activity, while maintaining and building campaign contacts and lists;
● Developing, maintaining and sharing campaign resources and materials necessary for campaign partners to succeed in their advocacy work;
● Working closely with campaign partners to develop and implement grassroots training and popular education to equip a growing body of grassroots leaders and activists with the skills to be effective advocates in their communities and workplaces.
The ideal candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter with a passion for social economic, and racial justice and a demonstrated ability to work well with a diverse team of colleagues and allies. Other strongly preferred experience and qualities include:
● Minimum of three to five years of organizing and advocacy experience, including working in a coalition
● Experience with state and or federal legislative campaigns, including demonstrated ability to work with elected officials and their staff
● Familiarity with grassroots and grasstops advocacy and lobbying tactics
● Strong writing and communication skills
● Strong personal organization and attention to detail
A demonstrated commitment to exposing injustices spurred by Wall Street and understanding their implications for working families and communities of color.
Salary and benefits: Salary commensurate with experience, generous benefits
