Development Manager

Men4Choice seeks its first full-time Development Manager (DM), a position that will play a crucial role in positioning and strengthening the organization for growth and impact in the months and years to come. This opportunity is well-suited for someone ready to help build the development function from the ground up while gaining hands-on exposure to all aspects of the department as it takes shape. The DM will report to the Executive Director daily and can be based remotely anywhere in the United States. The salary range for this position, depending upon experience and/or a proven track record, is $60,000 - $70,000 annually.

The DM will serve in this capacity for the organization’s 501(c)3 arm, Men4Choice Education, which focuses on educating male allies about the reality of the fight for reproductive rights, the harm unjust and oppressive laws are causing, and how they can engage effectively as allies. Men4Choice uses political education, digital campaigns, educational forums, community, and peer-to-peer organizing to move men from being passive supporters to informed and active allies in the movement. In addition, the DM will serve in this capacity for Men4Choice Advocacy, the organization’s 501(c)4 arm, focused on mobilizing male allies into legislative and electoral fights as partners in the movement for reproductive freedom. The organization uses online and offline organizing tactics – such as canvassing, lobbying, and voter education–to recruit and train activists in support of local and national partners leading the fight.

Men4Choice Background

In early 2015, Men4Choice co-founder Oren Jacobson heard a presentation by a national reproductive health care policy expert, and what he learned that day shocked him. Coming into the presentation, like most men in America, Oren’s support for reproductive freedom was passive at best. He always identified as pro-choice but thought Roe v. Wade was settled law, and this wasn’t really his issue or fight.

After the presentation was over, Oren was certain that most men didn’t fully understand what was at stake; they believed abortion was safely legal and easily accessible. Oren also doubted that most men knew how to engage in this fight as allies and active supporters. He certainly didn’t.

In the summer of 2015, Men4Choice launched in Illinois to educate and organize male allies in the fight for reproductive freedom in support of the leaders of this movement – the women and individuals impacted by the anti-abortion movement’s constant and growing attacks. After successfully training and educating thousands of male allies in Illinois and organizing on the ground to help pass multiple pieces of progressive legislation and expand pro-choice support across the state, Men4Choice began expanding outside of Illinois in 2020.

Most Americans believe that each person should have the freedom to control their own body and reproductive decisions. And yet, we are still losing the fight for reproductive freedom. One major gap in our movement is that we’re not engaging the largest unorganized base of pro-choice supporters in America – men. According to a 2019 Pew Poll, more than 6 in 10 men believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases. This translates to more than 60 million adult men in America who are pro-choice. Unfortunately, these men have largely been silent bystanders in this fight.

We believe there is no way to restore the right to an abortion and ensure equitable access to that right if we don’t expand the power of the movement for reproductive freedom. That’s why we must engage and organize the other half of the pro-choice population. Further, we must confront and change the toxic culture responsible for abortion restrictions and bans in the first place, oppressive laws pushed mostly by anti-choice men. Cultures are changed from the inside out. So, if we want to dismantle misogyny, we need well-trained male allies to help create this change.

Men4Choice Mission and Vision

Mission: Our mission is to unconditionally support the women and impacted individuals leading this movement by activating, educating, and mobilizing male allies into the fight to protect and expand reproductive freedom.

Vision: We envision and are working towards a future where male allies are actively deconstructing misogyny by transforming the way they think about, speak about, and engage in the fight for reproductive freedom.
