Grassroots Advocacy Coordinator (18 month fixed term)

Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) is the global organization’s presence in the United States. We engage people in the U.S. to fight injustice all around the world, while we also work to protect people’s human rights here in the U.S. Amnesty International USA has more than one million members and activists in all 50 states, who are part of a larger global movement of 10 million people in 150 countries. We are a democratically governed, grassroots membership organization, which means that our members vote on key policy issues and elect our Board of Directors. Amnesty International USA’s elected Board members, staff, and members work together to lead the organization.

The Grassroots Advocacy Coordinator (18 month fixed term) will play an important role in supporting projects that build and strengthen the Grassroots Leadership and Engagement (GLE) Unit, which is part of the Movement Building and Member Engagement Department. GLE staff build grassroots capacity to advance AIUSA’s human rights work through recruiting, retaining, and skills development of activists and broad national networks.

This role is a union position and covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Communication Workers of America (CWA), Local 1180.

Reporting to the Grassroots Legislative Manager and the Member Leader Program Manager, the Grassroots Advocacy Coordinator will provide ongoing programmatic and administrative support to AIUSA's Member Leader and Grassroots Legislative programs. These national programs manage and support grassroots engagement, leadership development, and human rights activism at AIUSA. This position requires collaboration with both AIUSA members and staff.
