Hi everyone,

As the Communications Associate, you will empower mothers to share their stories, with particular attention to mothers from low-income communities and communities of color who are often experiencing the worst effects of the problem.
Through your strong storytelling abilities, you will identify compelling narratives and work with our members to highlight their work on local and state campaigns. You will also ensure that the resulting stories are clear, captivating, creative and reflect the hope of working together to create concrete solutions towards a livable climate for all children.
You will join our communications department and the critical role we play to help win our campaigns, from ensuring consistent messaging across platforms, to securing media coverage, to strengthening of our campaigns through online organizing.

Our goal is simple: to enable mothers to take active leadership in climate change work, by providing the structure, training, and tools for them to work together on campaigns in their communities and at the statewide level. We are a volunteer-led, national organization that is growing quickly. Founded in 2013, this year's operating budget is $3.7m.
