The People’s Climate Movement (PCM) is staffing up for our 100 Days Mobilization to resist the Trump Administration’s attacks on our planet, communities and people. We are looking to build a strong staff team that can help build out a powerful and effective mobilization that both defends the things we love, but also provides a space and opportunity for people and communities to come together to strategize, learn from one another and go back to their communities to lead to organize over the next four years.

 

The People’s Climate Movement is an innovative formation that includes some of the country’s most effective environmental and progressive organizations, powerful local front-line and community groups, faith organizations, arts and cultural workers, labor unions, youth organizations and community leaders.  Growing out of the massive NYC march in 2014, we have been working to strengthen and expand the climate movement and connect to struggles for economic and racial justice.

Communications Coordinator: The Communications Coordinator is responsible for building and staffing a Communications Committee of media and communications staff, developing and implementing a press and media strategy and working with digital, arts and other staff as well as our Steering Committee members to create powerful and effective messaging. The ideal candidate will have 5-7 years communications and press experience. Experience and ability to build, manage and staff committees and teams is a critical skill for this position. 

All PCM positions (with the possible exception of some Field Organizers) will be based out of Washington DC.  For the right candidates, we are flexible on when they need to be working out of Washington DC, but all staff must be based out of Washington DC no later than March 1^st and most likely earlier.  These positions are contract positions and will end on May 15^th, 2017. Salary is DOE.

 

People of color, women, and LGBTQ are strongly encouraged to apply for these positions.
