Washington Legislative Office, DC
National Political Advocacy Department
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 is ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, advancing racial justice, 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 and civil rights cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. With more than one million members, activists, and supporters, the ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, national origin, or record of arrest or conviction.

Provide legislative counseling, including legal analysis, strategic planning guidance, and tactical suggestions, to ACLU affiliates to support their state-based advocacy efforts on issues related to the First Amendment.
Lead, or participate as the ACLU representative in, First Amendment and privacy rights coalitions.
In collaboration with ACLU Communications staff, develop and maintain relationships with reporters and other media staff, brief national and local media on federal policy and related politics, draft explanatory and opinion pieces for publication, assist in promoting ACLU positions through social media.
Work collaboratively with other legislative and policy staff within WLO in taking a team approach to priority ACLU federal policy issues, which will include advocating on issues outside the First Amendment and consumer privacy portfolio.
In coordination with state advocacy and campaign staff in NPAD as well as colleagues in the Legal and Communications Departments working on similar issues, prioritize advocacy goals and develop and implement coordinated strategies to achieve key civil liberties objectives.
Represent the ACLU at national, state, and local forums, conferences, meetings, and public speaking opportunities.
Demonstrate a commitment to diversity within the office using a personal approach that values all individuals and respects differences in regards to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ability and socio-economic circumstance, and record of arrest or conviction.
Work collaboratively and respectfully toward resolving obstacles and/or conflicts.
