Job Details

Families Belong Together, a campaign of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, is an immigrant justice campaign and loose coalition of nearly 250 organizations to end family separation and detention, reunite families, fight for immigrant justice, and challenge anti-immigrant racism through organizing, storytelling, and earned media. 

We take a power-building approach to build a mass constituency by centering organizing and leveraging rapid response moments to ensure widespread press coverage of the abuses of the government against children and families. Our work requires a multi-pronged response that includes persuasion work, culture change, storytelling, distributed action, movement generosity, and serving as digital, comms and organizing expertise for our partners across the country. FBT’s unique approach—digitally-focused rapid response with a positive, values based frame paired with organizing and power-building—is key to achieving our ultimate goal: ending child detention and family separation and doing right by the families that have been harmed. 

FLSA Status: Exempt

Reports to: Organizing Director

Work Location: Remote, but must be willing to work east coast hours

  • Lead, expand, and drive creative thinking to find opportunities to engage supporters digitally, and across the organization, in Families Belong Together’s work and with our partners.
  • Expand FBT’s storytelling by weaving a larger narrative through multiple digital campaigns that help show the “why” behind our work while also centering equity.
  • Manage the email process, with the support of an email consultant, from beginning to end: drafting and editing email copy, securing input and approval, setting up and sending the emails and action pages through our CRM, running QA, approvals coordination, analyzing the results to help us make better decisions going forward, and identifying appropriate next steps in the campaign.
  • Manage FBT’s backend data in order to use a data-driven approach to engaging our audiences and base.  
  • Coordinate FBT’s language justice work, ensuring greater access to non-native English speakers. 
  • Support the content and growth for FBT’s social media platforms, working closely with the Communications Manager and creative agency to put out educational, engaging content.

  • A strategic sense with the ability to identify political opportunities where grassroots and online activism can deliver progressive victories, and the ability to articulate the strategic rationale for actions to diverse audiences.
  • A movement builder with deep ties to communities of color, and committed for the long-term to build power with marginalized communities;
  • Experience and proficiency using digital tools, including a CRM system (example: ActionKit, ControlShift, or others); Experience with Every Action is a plus;

Background: 

The National Domestic Workers Alliance, where Families Belong Together is based, organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and labor standards. We work to guarantee labor protections for domestic workers by winning legislation at the state level, pushing for regulatory changes at the national level, through the International Labor Organization at the global level, and elevating domestic workers as key leaders in building a powerful movement for a more just economy and democracy. 

NDWA was founded in 2007 by 13 local domestic worker organizing projects around the country. By 2016, the alliance had grown to include 60 affiliate organizations and 3 chapters. In 2016, we launched our membership association in order to dramatically increase our scale, power and sustainability. While most of our core leaders are engaged as leaders in NDWA affiliate organizations and chapters, the vast majority of our members will be workers who we engage with remotely and online. 

Company

The National Domestic Workers Alliance (www.domesticworkers.org) organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and labor standards. The Alliance formed in 2007 at the US Social Forum and currently represents 60 affiliated organizations in 36 cities and 17 states nationally.
