Families Belong Together, a campaign of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, is an immigrant justice campaign and loose coalition of nearly 250 organizations. Started in 2018 with Trump’s Zero Tolerance policy that separated children from their families, Families Belong Together has galvanized people across the country to fight to end family separation and detention in the U.S. immigration system in all its forms. We use a combination of organizing, campaigning and storytelling to shift the national narrative and win on critical policies to ensure people seeking safety at our borders have a dignified welcome.

• 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.

Background:

The National Domestic Workers Alliance, 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.

Women, People of Color, People with Disabilities and LGBTQ people are strongly encouraged to apply.

NDWA is a union employer, this position is a bargaining unit position.
