Digital Campaigns Specialist
About Community Change and Community Change Action:
Community Change builds the power and capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to lead powerful and dynamic movements for social change. With our community-based partner groups, we bridge the grassroots and the national, supporting outsider strategies to disrupt the status quo while also building pathways to influence the insider conversation.
Our vision of a better world centers the leadership of impacted people of color to move our work on immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity, including a focus on jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform.
This position also supports Community Change Action, an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – equity, inclusion, and justice – Community Change and Community Change Action operate independently of one another and each organization has its own board of directors.
Position Description:
The Digital Campaigns Specialist will work with the Senior Communications Manager to move online community members up the ladder of engagement in the fight for comprehensive immigration reform as well as successful implementation of administrative relief. This position supports a nationwide network of immigrant rights groups called the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FIRM) and its sister organization, FIRM Action. It also contributes to Community Change’s overall work to advance a significant pro-immigrant federal policy agenda, develop strong state governing agendas, and build the capacity of the FIRM network.
The Digital Campaigns Specialist should be self-motivated, data driven, and an experienced online organizer with knowledge of how to use digital platforms to mobilize online communities. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in developing and implementing effective online advocacy strategies, advanced skills in digital campaign planning, and will work proactively across teams with a goal of growing and engaging our base of supporters and empowering our field organizing.
