phone, digital, and door-knocking tactics. The consultant will train and 
manage an existing field team with their work, build relationships with 
organizational allies and partners, expand the organization’s growing

field operations.
 
Mission, Vision, and Values: 
URGE envisions a liberated world where we can live with justice, love 
freely, express our gender and sexuality, and define and create families of 
our choosing. To achieve our vision of liberation, URGE builds power and 
sustains a young people’s movement for reproductive justice by centering 
the leadership of young people of color who are women, queer, trans, 
nonbinary, and people of low-income. As a state-driven national 
organization, URGE organizes our communities, provides a political home for 
young people, advocates for meaningful policy change, and shifts culture, 
working in states where the challenges and opportunities are greatest.
 
Our values guide our work internally and externally. URGE is:
 
- 

Member-focused: Our work is defined by the vision, desires, and 
leadership of young people. 
- 

Impact-driven: We measure our work in meaningful wins for—and defined 
by—young people 
- 

Bold and creative: We push cultural and political boundaries to demand 
change and achieve our vision.


Anti-racist: We challenge and work to dismantle systemic white supremacy 
and anti-Blackness through cross-racial collaboration. We recognize how all 
communities of color are impacted by and engage with white supremacy.

Sex-positive, gender-expansive, and abortion positive: We create 
celebratory and supportive spaces for our bodies, genders, abilities, 
sexual expression, and reproductive self-determination.
