Role Title: Administrative Organizer
Start Date: Early February
Application Deadline: January 16th
About Prison Health News and this role:
Prison Health News is an all-volunteer organization that publishes a free print newsletter for 5,000 subscribers in prison four times a year, rooted in organizing to end mass incarceration and build health justice. Many of our volunteers are health care workers, and we are the only organization that responds to health questions from people in prisons everywhere in the U.S. We are now looking to hire an individual with computer/office skills for a paid, part-time (10 hours/week) position to support our work. We strongly encourage formerly incarcerated people with lived experience within the criminal legal system to apply. This is a contract position, not a regular employee position, which means that taxes aren’t automatically taken out of your wages—you have to pay them yourself and it may be a larger amount. This is a one-year contract position funded by a grant, so we don’t know if we’ll be able to continue this position after the year is over. Training will be supportive, clear, approachable and flexible. You can set your own schedule and let us know when you need time off. The position will include a 1 month paid training period after which we’ll discuss continuing with the year-long contract. We have a great crew of people who are dedicated and kind, and you’ll get to do work that is meaningful and helps people in prison. Movement Alliance Project, our fiscal sponsor, is an equal opportunity employer, and we strongly encourage formerly incarcerated people, people of color, women, LGBTQ people, and candidates with disabilities to apply.
