Job Description

About Community Change and Community Change Action:

Community Change builds the power and capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to lead powerful and dynamic movements for social change.

Our vision of a better world centers the leadership of impacted people of color to move our work on immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity, including a focus on jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform.

This position also supports Community Change Action, an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – equity, inclusion, and justice – Community Change and Community Change Action operate independently of one another and each organization has its own board of directors.

Position Description:

The Economic Freedom Director will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating our Economic Freedom work. The Economic Freedom Program is built around poverty abolition. Fully realized, economic freedom means that people have the agency and power to make decisions about their lives free from coercion. The core of our Economic Freedom program is Guaranteed Income. The Economic Freedom Director will be responsible for building broad support for the idea of guaranteed income as the route to economic freedom among our local partners, among the new constituencies we are organizing, and among allies, influencers, and policymakers who can help us to realize this goal.

The Economic Freedom Director will be expected to rigorously test, in “lean start-up” mode, the receptivity of guaranteed income among specific constituencies that are economically insecure. This will require the Director to lead us in constituency organizing, base experimentation, and strategic campaigns at the local and state level.

Assuming that we are able to organize some constituencies at scale, our aim is to coalesce these individual campaigns into a broad-based movement with the vision and power to win universal policies that assure economic freedom for every American.

The Economic Freedom Director will be both inward and outward facing, managing many internal and external relationships. To position the Economic Freedom program in a broader landscape, the Director will act as a national representative of Community Change to various partners, including some national organizing networks, policy organizations, policy makers, and other state and national formations as needed. The Director will also represent Community Change’s Economic Freedom program with certain foundations and individual donors, media representatives, board members, and in other important public contexts.

Principal Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Develop and execute an integrated and cohesive Economic Freedom program.
Lead and coordinate a team of supervisors, and senior organizers, to create goals and benchmarks for the Guaranteed Income Campaign and the broader Economic Freedom Program.
Track program progress to meet internal goals and funder deliverables.
Coordinate relationships with national allies, academics, policymakers, and donors, alongside other Community Change staff, to ensure program visibility.
Play a key role in program fundraising.
Participate in developing communications strategies that position the project in a broader landscape.
Meet and build relationships and campaign plans with local and national partners.
Quali?cations:

Minimum of 8 years leadership and supervisory experience with a complex team.
A track record of successfully building and creating team cultures of accountability and intention.
Signi?cant experience working within and alongside the ?eld of economic Freedom.
Track record of building and moving teams of individuals to successful actions.
A track record of creating and executing base-building plans or membership drives.
Signi?cant experience working with community-based, grassroots organizations, and national-level partners.
Excellent writing and verbal communication skills, including conference presentation skills.
Ability to produce consistent, quality work in a sometimes fast-paced environment.
Ability to work at a macro level, keeping in mind the broader vision, while also attending to operational details.
Experience re-structuring teams and/or building new projects/programs.
Experience working with a regionally dispersed or remote team.
Proficiency in Google Workspace, Outlook, MS Office applications, and Salesforce;
Deep commitment to the mission of Community Change and the project of building power with low-income communities of color; passion for social justice and a commitment to work in solidarity with the people directly impacted by injustice
This person reports to: Deputy Chief of Programs

Supervisory Responsibility: This position will supervise Economic Justice, supervisors, program support staff, and other team members if/as needed.

Travel Requirements: At least 40%

Salary & bene?ts: Annual salary of $160,000 - $180,000.

Classification: Community Change recognizes a staff bargaining unit affiliated with IFPTE Local 70, a union for non-profit workers. This position is not included in Community Change's bargaining unit and is not covered under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.

Organization Description

The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) is seeking a California-based World Zionist Congress (WZC) Regional Campaign Director to work with its campaign leadership to run its largest-ever mobilization and Get Out the Vote effort by managing and supporting California’s congregations in this exciting campaign to support our Reform Jewish values in Israel.?

URJ WZC Campaign?

The WZC is an elected legislative body that serves as a platform for Diaspora Jews to have a voice in Israel. Today, the WZC meets every five years to enact policies and make decisions that impact a billion dollars in spending.?

During the WZC elections, which will be held from March 10- May 4, 2025, North American Reform Jews can cast a vote that will influence policy and $1 billion in budget decisions in Israel and advocate for democracy, pluralism, security, and humanitarian causes.??

The URJ is running an unprecedented campaign for the 2025 WZC Election.?The North American Reform Movement is building a passionate team of leaders in congregations and communities across the country. We are supporting this people-driven movement with a talented team of campaign and organizing professionals and the tactics, tools, technology, and know-how of cutting-edge campaigns.????

The national campaign team and our regional leaders will support the congregational and community campaign captains to help them run a local campaign of education and engaging, community-building activities. Ultimately, we will run our biggest-ever GOTV effort in the 2025 WZC election, engaging tens of thousands of our people and building consensus that we want to write the next chapter of Jewish history together.???



What’s at Stake??

Since October 7, we see that what happens in Israel impacts all Jews. We are facing rising levels of shocking, overt anti-Semitism in America.?In 2024, there is no opting out – what happens in Israel affects us all.?

Our opponents in the WZC election – ultra-orthodox religious fundamentalists – have a vision for the future of Israel that is diametrically opposed to ours. They are highly motivated and organizing against us to destroy what we value. If they win, they will chip away at Israel’s democracy; roll back gains for LGBTQ+ rights, gender equity, and religious pluralism; strip our Israeli Reform clergy and communities of their rights, funding, and infrastructure; make sure that our converts and children are not welcome in the Jewish state; and block any hope of Palestinian self-determination and safety. They want to write the next chapter of Jewish history and write us out of it.??

The Israeli Reform Movement, our partners in Israel, are fighting every day to support and sustain a community at war and in trauma, while standing strong for Israeli democracy, pluralism, security, and a road to self-determination for Palestinians. Our campaign will help support these essential goals.?
ABOUT US??

??Every team member at the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) plays an essential role in our mission to create a whole, just, and compassionate world. Our team is creative, thoughtful, and innovative. Each member of the team is empowered to make meaningful contributions to achieving our shared goals. Our diverse team is made up of individuals with different skills and backgrounds and every team member is willing to take risks as well as take action to develop and create big ideas for the future of the Reform Movement. While this position focuses on a particular area of work, every team member is a vital part of our overall success.? ??

?The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) provides vision and voice to build strong communities that, together, transform the way people connect to Judaism and change the world. We acknowledge that due to racism, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression, that our communities are not whole until everyone experiences a sense of belonging within the Jewish community. As the largest Jewish movement in North America, we stand for a Judaism that is inclusive and reflective of a wide range of identities and accept the responsibility of dismantling oppression both inside and outside of our communities. Through camping, youth experiences, programs, information sharing, and networking opportunities, our over 850 congregations and 15 residential camps create opportunities for our communities to enhance their capacity to build and expand community, engage in meaningful and authentic Jewish life, deepen Jewish learning, energize worship, pursue social justice and develop inspired leadership. Together, our employees and stakeholders, are creating Reform Judaism of today.???

The URJ strives to be a welcoming and inclusive environment that acknowledges diversity as a critical strength. We promote strenuous policies and practices of equal opportunity and diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is our objective to recruit, hire, and retain the most qualified individuals including those of any race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic or status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law. Our equal employment philosophy applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, compensation, benefits, training, promotions, transfers, job benefits, and terminations.

RAD’s mission is to promote the continued existence and resiliency of the U.S. abortion delivery sector so that abortion seekers have timely and equitable access to quality abortion care. RAD is driven by a commitment to support the U.S. abortion delivery sector in meeting the needs of abortion seekers, ensuring timely and equitable access to quality abortion care.

With a dedicated team of 13 staff members, RAD connects independent abortion providers nationwide with essential funding, resources, and sector expertise, helping them navigate and adapt to a complex and rapidly evolving environment. While RAD’s primary role is as a funding intermediary, it also facilitates a range of initiatives that directly enhance the capabilities of providers and the sector. As a grantmaker, RAD leverages its deep knowledge of the abortion landscape to deploy strategic funder investments and respond to pressing challenges in the field. Through an array of programming, RAD provides expertise, support, and valuable guidance to both grantees and funders, sharing information, research, and customized technical assistance.

Since its inception, RAD has facilitated over $74 million in support to enhance patient access and bridge the gap between independent abortion delivery and funding. RAD seeks an Executive Director who will guide it into its next phase of growth, ensuring that its strategic priorities align with the sector's evolving needs and commitment to equity and justice.

The Executive Director will be pivotal in leading RAD's strategic vision and operational excellence. With 2 direct reports and reporting to the RAD Advisory Board, the ED will guide the organization through a dynamic and evolving landscape, fortifying RAD’s role as a key funding intermediary for independent abortion providers. The ED will oversee organizational growth, drive strategic initiatives, and ensure that RAD's mission to support equitable access to abortion care is advanced through effective leadership and collaboration with stakeholders. This role involves fostering relationships with a broad range of stakeholders—including funders, providers, and movement partners—while providing strategic guidance to program staff and sustaining RAD’s commitment to addressing challenges within the abortion delivery sector.

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

Resources for Abortion Delivery (RAD) was established in 2016 with a mission to ensure that individuals seeking abortions have timely and equitable access to high-quality care. Driven by a commitment to support the U.S. abortion delivery sector in meeting the needs of abortion seekers, RAD focuses on enhancing timely and equitable access to quality abortion care, with a particular emphasis on independent providers who face significant challenges in a complex and rapidly evolving landscape.

As a nonprofit organization with a dedicated team of 12 staff members and an organizational budget averaging around $8 million annually for core programmatic and operational expenses, RAD serves as a crucial funding intermediary while also advancing several key initiatives that directly impact the abortion delivery sector. The ED will oversee RAD’s efforts to connect independent abortion providers with essential funding, resources, and support, leveraging sector expertise to effectively mobilize and deploy resources. RAD offers grantmaking services for charitable donors looking to give direct, tangible support to abortion providers meeting critical community needs. RAD is unique in its knowledge of independent abortion providers, its ability to pool and distribute donor funds, and its capacity to provide charitable dollars to privately owned, taxable entities that make up approximately 70% of the independent abortion provider sector. RAD makes individual loans and grants to both taxable and tax-exempt abortion providers, ensuring that all funding awards comply with IRS rules for charitable support. RAD also collaborates strategically with charitable donors to address both emergent and longer-term sector needs, offering informational resources and convening spaces for foundation donors to learn about the abortion delivery sector and engage with peers.

Over its first five years, RAD has successfully provided over $60 million in grants and loans, along with $350,000 in free technical and capacity-building support. Further, it has facilitated more than 2,000 hours of free legal compliance assistance through its Regulatory Assistance for Abortion Provider (RAAP) program, which is sunsetting at the end of the year. RAD also established The Access Fund (TAF), a now-sunsetting initiative that provided no-cost abortions for low-income individuals from states with abortion bans. RAD has engaged over 30 foundations through convenings and briefings and has facilitated more than $74 million in support to date, significantly enhancing patient access and bridging gaps between independent abortion delivery and funding sources. Notable partners include the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Lisa and Douglas Goldman Fund, the Coalition for Gender and Reproductive Equity, Schusterman Family Philanthropies, and several anonymous donors.

Understanding RAD’s structure and its role in supporting diverse stakeholders is crucial.
