WildEarth Guardians is seeking a full-time advocate in our Wild Places Program to advance a new paradigm of forest management and protection based on the growing body of science that demonstrates trees work cooperatively through symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants, which create shared mycorrhizal networks. These networks operate as a single organism connected by infinite biological pathways that allow trees to communicate and interact in intelligent ways, often described as ‘forest wisdom,’ which supports Traditional Ecological Knowledge and beliefs long held by Indigenous Peoples. The science, both new and old, make it clear that forests themselves have the intelligence and capacity for self healing and adaptation to new climate regimes.
In this position, the SW Advocate will be responsible for helping develop and advance new policies and protections for national forests in the southwestern US by promoting the concepts of “forest wisdom” throughout the region and increasing support for our forest protection work among a broad array of communities and interests. In addition, the SW Advocate will help develop and implement a communications plan to engage the general public, target audiences and media to broaden the reach of our forest wisdom message.
Importantly, the SW Advocate will also help integrate forest wisdom concepts into WildEarth Guardian’s ReWilding work, which seeks to improve the ecological integrity of national forest lands by advocating for the protection and restoration of important fish & wildlife habitat, connectivity, and climate change refugia. Specifically, the SW Advocate will track and engage in priority U.S. Forest Service projects and plans in the region. In addition to meeting with agency officials and crafting technical comments, often in conjunction with partners, the SW Advocate will coordinate with our WildPlaces attorney to help develop litigation when necessary. Ultimately, the SW Advocate will work to ensure forest ecosystems will be respected and managed responsibly and sustainably; that the natural and human environment is restored to the benefit of all people and living things; and that frontline communities do not bear disproportionate risks of environmental harm.

The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Director of Media and Press Relations to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
For more than four decades, Corporate Accountability has moved millions of people to challenge corporate power through hard-hitting campaigns that win victories for health, human rights, democracy, and the planet. Far-reaching media -- paired with strategic grassroots organizing -- is at the core of what we do. Our media program is central to shifting the public climate, making possible change that feels impossible, and ensuring our campaigns and research are getting out into the world.
That’s where you come in. We’re looking for someone to bring leadership and collaboration to our media program. The heart of the job is securing groundbreaking, widespread media coverage that exposes corporate abuse and motivates people to take action with us. You’ll develop compelling communications that shift the narrative on issues from climate change and water privatization to food and tobacco industry abuses. You’ll lead in building and deepening strong reciprocal relationships with campaign partners, reporters, and thought leaders, while furthering our shared mission in all aspects, from campaigning to fundraising. You’ll work in partnership with a broad, cross-organizational team collaborating to craft sharp messaging and then get it out in the world. You will use your imagination and creativity to collaboratively lead a thoughtful media program and the work of the broader communications team. You will continue to build widespread awareness of the organization, our mission, and our 40+-year track record of success in curbing corporate power.
Who you are
The rampant abuses of corporations and the outrageous amount of power they have make you mad as hell -- and you want to do something about it.
You have a commitment to advancing racial equity and ending systems of oppression, and are ready to do this in your day-to-day work. You understand that campaigning for justice must include working to dismantle white supremacy, institutional racism, colonialism, and anti-Blackness.
You have a deep understanding of the power of language and communications to move people to action and create change. You have practice and experience in communications strategies and are a top-notch writer and skilled editor, and you are fluent in framing and messaging best practices.
You can produce, collaboratively and independently, media that reaches a broad range of audiences, including reporters, government delegates, corporate executives, and grassroots organizers - depending on the strategy.
Communications is at the heart of your theory of change, and you view comms and organizing work as inextricably linked. You can communicate complex ideas simply and clearly, and are highly organized in your thinking and systems. You understand that strategic planning is essential to success and have experience creating and implementing both short- and long-term plans.
You are a tenacious communicator and organizer to your core. You thrive on building authentic relationships. You know social change happens person to person -- so you’re not afraid to strike up conversation with a stranger, direct message someone on Twitter, or hop on the phone to pitch a reporter on their next big story. You can build relationships with integrity and build power for global change with people from diverse backgrounds.
You are a great supervisor. You lead with compassion, managing and collaborating with staff toward goals, and encouraging people to lead from their positions.
You keep up to date with global media standards, and are always thinking outside the box. You creatively work within the realm of non-traditional media, and are excited to to step into this role to further bring Corporate Accountability’s work to new multimedia platforms.
You have 6-10 years of experience in organizing, communications, or other relevant fields.
What you’ll be responsible for in the day-to-day
Lead the media team — from playing a key role in on-boarding new media members, supervising staff, and training staff outside of the unit to support media work. You will be guiding the vision and strategy behind our media work across the organization, and working with your team to ensure our plans become a reality.

Full time
The take-away
Ready to take on some of the most powerful forces in our society? We’re looking for a Director of Media and Press Relations to join a fierce, smart team challenging global corporations, holding them accountable, and creating a world where all people can thrive.
Why you’ll love coming to work every day
You’ll help change the world by being part of fearless and winning campaigns. You’ll be joining an organization that’s not satisfied with the world as it is—and has a vision for how it should be. When your quest is ending corporate abuse, you can’t be afraid to name names and demand what the world needs. For more than 40 years, we’ve been exposing and challenging the abuses of the likes of Nestlé, Exxon Mobil, Philip Morris International, McDonald’s, and more. We don’t back down, and we run campaigns until we win.
You’ll work with awesome people. Join a team of passionate, kind, determined, optimistic, and solutions-oriented folks. We work hard, celebrate victories large and small, and always have each other’s backs.
You can take on big responsibilities as you go. You’ll thrive here as you develop new skills, tackle new challenges, learn, and grow. We pay lots of attention to building staff leadership, and we provide support and training to help you grow in your role.
You’ll be part of an organization committed to advancing racial equity and transforming systems of oppression. We are deeply committed to prioritizing the leadership of people who bear the brunt of corporate abuse: Black and Indigenous people and other people of color, women, low-income people, people in the Global South, and LGBTQ+ folks around the world. Our unique culture has been fostered by a long history of women at the helm. We are actively focusing on the leadership of our staff of color, knowing we are stronger when the organization reflects the vision of the world we’re building together.
What you’ll do
For more than four decades, Corporate Accountability has moved millions of people to challenge corporate power through hard-hitting campaigns that win victories for health, human rights, democracy, and the planet.

We are focused on dramatically scaling our impact in the years to come.
At Unite America, we are working to build a more representative and functional government that puts voters first and reflects the diversity of our country. We believe in an inclusive democracy where leaders embrace problem solving over fueling divisiveness. Likewise, organizationally, we have a vision of building a team that reflects diverse identities, experiences and perspectives; a culture of working across differences toward common goals; and a workplace where everyone feels included, respected and heard. To that end, Unite America is proud to have made diversifying our team, ensuring more equitable opportunity, and fostering a culture of belonging a priority.
