Job o' the Day: Policy Director at Immigration Equality in DC!

Immigration Equality’s high-performance policy team is expanding.  We are recruiting a new Policy Director who will build on our team’s core strength to take full advantage of opportunities to advance our agenda within the federal government over the next year and beyond. 

Founded in 1994, Immigration Equality is the country’s premiere legal aid and advocacy organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive immigrants and their families.  Immigration Equality works to end discrimination against LGBT people in U.S. immigration law through education, outreach, and advocacy.  Immigration Equality’s pro bono asylum project represents LGBT people fleeing persecution with the participation of more than 40 top national law firms.  In 2009, Immigration Equality created the Immigration Equality Action Fund, a 501(c)(4), to expand its federal legislative advocacy.

We currently have a first-rate Legislative Director, Julie Kruse, and seek to build a bigger team that can design and execute an effective, nimble administrative advocacy strategy.  We are recruiting the perfect person to manage, grow and lead this expanded policy team.  The remainder of this presidential term is an extraordinary window of opportunity, and the organization is committed to putting resources into this area.
