Job opportunity for prison activist

Amazing Opportunity:

Direct a campaign to close down a brutal women’s prison in Alabama
and transform women’s criminal justice policy statewide – si se
puede!

Campaign Director. A powerful coalition of community groups,
advocacy organizations and formerly and currently incarcerated women
is looking for a dedicated, talented individual to coordinate the
coalition and direct a campaign to close the brutal Tutwiler Prison
and transform Alabama's women’s criminal justice system into one
that is small, family-oriented, community-based and rehabilitative.

We are searching for a “bridge” person – someone who can unify a
diverse coalition and organize everyone from state representatives,
to service providers, lawyers to women in prison. The Campaign
Director must have excellent communication skills, be detail
oriented, and a self-starter who is able to work with little
supervision and much collaboration. She must have a strong
understanding and some experience developing and running campaigns.
Experience with the Alabama criminal justice system, with the
Alabama legislature, with legislative campaigns and/or with women in
prison strongly preferred but not required. Women and people of
color are strongly encouraged to apply. $30-35,000 DOE. Please
send a resume, cover letter outlining your interest, and 3
references by December 15 to lkung@schr.org. No phone calls, please.

Frederick Douglass

Life is the great primary and most precious and comprehensive of all human rights . . . whether it be coupled with virtue honor, and happiness, or with sin, disgrace and misery, the continued possession of it is rightfully not a matter of volition; . . . [it is not] to be deliberately or voluntarily destroyed, either by individuals separately, or combined in what is called Government.

- Frederick Douglass
