Administrative and Operations Coordinator/Associate, Rights and Justice
American Progress has an immediate opening for an Administrative and Operations Coordinator or Associate in the Rights and Justice department. The newly organized department incorporates six teams (Criminal Justice Reform; Disability Justice Initiative; Gun Violence Prevention; Immigration Policy; LGBTQI+ Research and Communications Project; and Racial Equity and Justice) and is dedicated to building a society that respects the rights and dignity of all people; provides equitable opportunity for everyone to fulfill their potential; and ensures everyone benefits from the collective strengths of the nation’s diversity. The Coordinator or Associate will be driven by American Progress’ mission “to improve the lives of all Americans, through bold, progressive ideas, as well as strong leadership and concerted action, with the aim of not only changing the conversation, but changing the country.” The department’s work focuses on several priorities, including protecting and expanding civil rights, building just and inclusive communities, and creating more equitable and effective systems for all Americans.
