NARAL Pro-Choice America is seeking a Regional Organizing Manager for the Midwest ,
based in Michigan, to identify, train, and support volunteers and volunteer leaders to move
decision makers, elect pro-choice candidates, and win campaigns.
As the nation's leading pro-choice advocacy group, NARAL Pro-Choice America is dedicated to
protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans, including abortion access.
Along with our 2.5 million member activists from all 50 states and network of state affiliates,
NARAL works to guarantee that each woman has access to the full range of reproductive
freedoms. We are at a historic moment in which the anti-choice movement is one step away
from overturning or gutting Roe, but also in which we have major opportunities to advance
abortion rights in America by mobilizing the 7 in 10 Americans who support access to
abortion.
NARAL is working to leverage the power of our 2.5 million members to achieve legislative and
political victories to protect and expand reproductive freedom. To accomplish these goals,
NARAL is prioritizing work to build even more grassroots power and scale our organizing by
creating new volunteer structures and opportunities for deeper member engagement.

The Regional Organizing Manager is a key player in building a network of highly
activated volunteers and volunteer leaders who partner with each other and with NARAL
in achieving campaign wins. At NARAL, we don't operate or litigate; we organize and
mobilize. Working together, we push our friends to be bolder, lift up the champions fighting
with us on the front line for true reproductive freedom, and we shine a spotlight of
accountability on bad actors that work to impose their ideological agenda on others.
