Description:
Amnesty International USA (AIUSA), a Nobel Peace Prize winning organization, is in search of a volunteer to coordinate our Death Penalty Abolition work in Maryland.
State Death Penalty Abolition Coordinators (SDPAC) function as volunteer leaders who work to prevent/abolish the death penalty. SDPACs work with Regional Death Penalty Abolition Coordinators (RDPACs), Regional Offices, and the National Death Penalty Abolition Campaign (DPAC) to coordinate AIUSA’s work against the death penalty in their states.
Specifically SDPACs:
1) Support the abolition work of AIUSA members and community and student groups in coordination with the Regional Office.
2) Help bring new members in to AI, including those already doing abolitionist work, in coordination with the Regional Office.
3) Support the work of the statewide coalition.
4) Serve as AIUSA’s expert on the death penalty in Maryland, and provide information on statewide developments to the Regional Office and DPAC.
In addition to a dedication to the cause and Amnesty International's human rights agenda, the ideal candidate will have proven campaign experience including, but not limited to, legislative advocacy, strategic event planning, and media and grassroots outreach.
How to Apply:
For more information and to obtain an application, please contact Breanna Peterson at bpeterson@aiusa.org or 202-544-0200 x269.
