State Campaign Strategist [CSJ-15]
American Civil Liberties Union
Campaign for Smart Justice, NY
For nearly 100 years, the ACLU has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, or preserving the right to vote or the right to have an abortion, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach.

The ACLU seeks applicants for a full-time State Campaign Strategist focused on developing and executing campaign strategies for ACLU state affiliates engaging in Smart Justice Campaign work. The position is based in New York, NY.
OVERVIEW
With 2.3 million people behind bars in this country, the United States has earned the disgraceful distinction of being the world’s largest jailer. The nation’s machine of mass incarceration severely limits the ability of people, disproportionately people of color, from participating in the social, political and economic life of this country.
The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice is a nationwide campaign committed to realizing a new criminal justice system – one that is substantially smaller than its current size while also keeping communities safe, advancing racial justice, treating people fairly, and using fiscal resources wisely. The ACLU’s Campaign for Smart Justice works with partners to build a movement for social change and win state-based reforms needed to cut the size of our nation’s incarcerated population by 50 percent and combat racial disparities within the criminal justice system. The issue of mass incarceration is ripe for bipartisan involvement, and the ACLU works collaboratively with stakeholders across the political spectrum to achieve our goal of ending mass incarceration.
To achieve our decarceration and racial justice goals, the Campaign for Smart Justice works state by state to win reforms aimed at ending mass incarceration, including reforms to sentencing, pretrial/bail, parole and probation, drug policy, reentry, and prosecutorial policies and practices. The Campaign for Smart Justice is committed to centering the leadership and voices of formerly incarcerated people and other impacted communities throughout our work, including but not limited to our work building or joining partnerships and coalitions. Smart Justice is currently engaged in campaigns in more than 30 states seeking reforms in state legislatures and local councils, through elections, administratively, and through litigation.
The State Campaign Strategist is responsible for developing and implementing campaign strategies and tactics related to pretrial justice and criminal justice issues. The role will coordinate the implementation of multi-disciplinary strategies to achieve criminal justice reform across states. There is also responsibility for helping ACLU affiliate teams and their partners conceive, develop, build and execute campaigns that include coalition, field organizing, communications, legislative, litigation, and electoral strategies. The State Campaign Strategist will serve as a liaison between the state campaigns and national Campaign leadership. The ideal candidate will have significant experience in campaign development and execution and a passion for the fight to end mass incarceration.
The State Campaign Strategist will work closely with the Campaign leadership team, others within the National ACLU office, as well as with campaign directors, political directors, organizers, and others at ACLU affiliate offices, and with allies and partners throughout the country. The role is based in the Campaign for Smart Justice’s New York City headquarters and is supervised by the State Campaigns Manager and the Southern Regional Director.

A minimum of five years of experience working on criminal justice reform issues at the state and local level.

Experience designing campaign strategy and tactics, and engaging in issue advocacy and/or electoral campaigns.
Experience working on grassroots organizing.
Experience with campaign budgeting, evaluation, supervision, and metrics-driven planning and assessment.
Experience with building, leading, and working within coalitions.
