At this critical moment for justice reform, we are standing up and driving change on a variety of fronts—by eliminating money bail, ending mass incarceration, vastly improving life behind bars, ensuring that immigrants get due process, and centering our work on principles of racial equity. Importantly, our work occurs in the context of a dynamic, rapidly changing, and increasingly high-profile organization and field. Vera has more than 250 staff members who work across four offices—in Brooklyn, New Orleans, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles—as well as remotely. Each year, we are launching new and more complex initiatives, cultivating new constituents, and deploying new tools and tactics to create a justice system that lives up to its name. As an employer of choice in our field, supporting Vera staff—both personally and professionally—is a priority. To do this, we invest in the well-being of our employees through above market rate compensation, student loan repayment benefits, generous assisted reproductive technology coverage through our comprehensive medical insurance plan, paid leave time including Paid Family Leave, employer retirement savings contributions, and on-site mindfulness meditation sessions and other wellness initiatives throughout the year. Race, Equity, and Inclusion We are taking the steps necessary to become an antiracist institution. This means we are committed to dismantling racism both within our institution and the wider community and to transforming our professional relationships and activities to align with this vision. Through our Racial Equity and Inclusion Initiative, we offer trainings to build organizational capacity and create formal and informal channels for discussion. We have created a Racial Equity Action Plan that spells out some of our key goals and commitments. Professional Development As part of our commitment to staff, Vera is proud to offer unique opportunities for professional development. Learning/Sharing Incentives: Vera supports staff learning and sharing in many forms, including: • Publication incentive awards. To recognize the amount of work and time that goes into writing mission- or strategy- connected articles, self-published multimedia projects, and conference-related publications, Vera rewards staff with $1,000. • Conference support. To aid both idea and professional development, Vera pays for staff to attend relevant conferences, including registration fees and travel. The only requirement attached to this support is that the Veran report back what they learn to interested colleagues. • Peer-to-peer capacity building. This fund supports time and travel for staff to learn from each other, fostering a culture of constant personal and interpersonal development. For example, the fund might help a staff member observe a peer facilitate a meeting with people who work at a prison or immigrant detention center, meet with a coworker to learn how they successfully broadcasted Vera events, or assist another team with hands-on data collection. Idea Pipeline investments: Any Veran may apply for more significant internal funding to pilot a project that has the potential to become an important new area of work for Vera. The idea pipeline is part of our journey to be more equitable internally by providing a broader range of staff with a path to design new work that will impact the justice field. Environment Vera encourages opportunities during and after work to strengthen bonds and create meaningful relationships. We host a monthly staff breakfast, sponsor coffee meet-ups, organize brown bag learning opportunities and, twice a year, we convene all staff for a series of workshops and fun. Learn a little more about why we come to work. At no time since the early 1970s has there been such potential to reform our justice system.

COLORADO CLIMATE DEFENDER ORGANIZER | Work for Progress/ Environment Colorado | Denver, CO Application Deadline: May 11, 2020 | Salary: At least $29,000 Attention Job Seekers: In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we want to assure you that Environment Colorado is actively hiring for this position, and we welcome your applications. Colorado has suffered from the effects of climate change with drought, wildfire, and an unreliable snowpack. With snow-related and river-related recreation as two huge pieces of the economy, Coloradans are feeling the economic effects. The 2018 wildfire season was terrifying, putting farms, homes, and lives in danger. The good news is that Environment Colorado has been working to cut global warming pollution for decades and we've made progress from cleaner cars on the road to boosting solar and wind power. Unfortunately, crucial victories have come under attack from the Trump administration. We won't let that hold us back in Colorado or across the country. We're drawing a line in the sand to stop the Trump administration from rolling back climate and clean air protections from the Clean Power Plan to clean cars. If we are going to be successful in fundamentally changing the way that we power our country, we are going to need every elected official who believes in the science of climate change and who wants to see us take it on to be vocal in their support and call on other elected leaders to do the same. And we need them to make this stand as loudly as possible to make it clear that supporting climate action is good policy and good politics. bThe Jo Description Colorado's Climate Defender Organizers are responsible for recruiting, developing and mobilizing powerful teams of concerned Coloradans to become climate volunteers in critical communities and on college campuses across the state. As a Climate Defender Organizer, you will work with our existing network of members and activists, and expand volunteer teams in key political areas and on college campuses to ensure support from local decision-makers for climate action. Whether it's educational events, rallies, or bringing Coloradans to meet one-on-one with their elected officials, you and your volunteers will push decision-makers to lead on climate change. You'll coordinate regular meetings between local decision-makers and constituents; coordinate rapid response media to highlight climate impacts and hold public officials accountable; and help collect thousands of petitions and personal letters on climate change. By the end of the campaign, you will have built volunteer teams in key areas that can continue the fight for Colorado's environment for years to come.

Training There will be a week-long training near the beginning of the campaign. We will also hold periodic trainings on advanced skills for organizers. Qualifications We're seeking applicants who are ready to commit their time, talent and passion to advocating, organizing and recruiting new leaders to protect the environment. We look for smarts, organizing experience and an eagerness to learn. We value leadership experience of all kinds, especially organizing, grassroots outreach and building campus groups. Candidates must have excellent judgment and discretion and the ability to oversee significant projects. APPLY NOW The position starts as soon as possible and requires a commitment through the end of July 2020. Organizers may have an opportunity to be placed on election projects with one of our partner groups at the end of the campaign. Please apply on our website and upload a PDF of your cover letter addressed to “Len Montgomery, Field Director” and a PDF of your resume. Pay & Benefits The target annual compensation for this position is $29,000 in the first year. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
