JOIN for Justice
Boston preferred but not required
Position Opening: Communications & Outreach Officer
Classification: Full-Time, Exempt
Location: JOIN’s national office in Boston, MA (preferred)
Posted: August 2020
JOIN for Justice is building a powerful field of Jewish leaders capable of effectively organizing for justice, both inside and outside Jewish communities in the US. We organize because, in the words of Emma Lazarus, “Until we are all free, we are none of us free”—our destinies are bound up as one. We train and mentor rabbis, community leaders, and community organizers through a variety of intensive organizing training programs, in person and online.
In the coming year, for example, we’ll be running our 18-month Clergy Fellowship, wherein we will train and support teams of rabbis in Miami and St. Louis to engage their congregations in new ways and get involved in local multi-faith, multi-racial organizing. We will also be running a new 6-month long national organizing training program for disabled Jewish organizers in their 20s and 30s -- where participants will get intensive training and individualized coaching as they learn about disability organizing history, nuts and bolts of running campaigns and how to organize to fight ableism, racism, and other forms of exclusion.
We believe that our Jewish religious, historical, and cultural traditions compel us to organize our communities and take powerful action together in support of the pressing social justice issues of our time and that those unique traditions can be an indispensable resource in harnessing the power of faith for justice. Thousands of people we have trained over the past two decades are now tapping these traditions and skills as they work in cities across the country forging relationships, building power, and winning change for all of our communities.
