At Climate Cabinet, we help local leaders run, win and legislate on the climate crisis. State and local policymakers are key to tackling climate change. They are responsible for achieving 75% of our Paris climate goals - and ensuring Biden's climate investments are implemented in communities across America. But, these leaders are too often under-supported and overlooked. With 500,000 state and local elected officials across America, scaling up local climate leadership is a challenge of scale and coordination.

We're hiring a Communications Director to build a powerful communications operation that will grow with us as an organization. This director will elevate all Climate Cabinet brands and amplify the impact of state and local climate champions in the media narrative across the US. As a small hands-on team, we're looking for someone who is excited to lead on comms strategy and execute the work.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Once, there were small fishing villages dotting our coastlines. Places where hardworking fishermen were among the social and financial leaders of the town. Diligence and a boat were all you needed to earn a livelihood from the oceans and provide for one’s family. Communities were connected to their adjacent rich natural resources. Local boats prospered by staying flexible and diversified. However, overfishing resulted in seafood quota systems that separated the community from its wealth by privatizing community rights and consolidating them into the hands of bigger businesses. What had historically been accessible, stable, and reliable community assets were now positioned for sale to the highest bidder.

Catch Together is on the forefront of innovation to develop permit banks and community ownership of tradable seafood quotas as a way to anchor fishing quota to localities and ensure that they are stable, available and affordable. Since 2017, Catch Together has invested and sourced co-investments of nearly $11 million to help local fishermen’s organizations and their fishermen buy over 900,000 pounds of seafood quota which has created over $5 million in community equity since our launch. We are making a tremendous impact in fishermen’s lives around the nation.

Now, we seek to recapitalize our vision and expand to serve more fishermen and in more geographies around the nation.

Catch Together is an independent operating project of the nonprofit umbrella organization, Multiplier, a nationally recognized nonprofit with a growing portfolio of innovative initiatives that conserve and protect a sustainable and resilient world (www.multiplier.org).

OVERVIEW

The Catch Together Junior Partner will work with the management team at Catch Together to launch a national program that raises capital to buy and co-manage fishing assets with fishermen and small fishing community organizations around the country.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts

For more than 25 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment.

Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines, and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.

In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world.

Background:

The Center for Biological Diversity believes the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence of a vast diversity of wild animals, plants and people. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law, activism and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that humans, other species and all communities need to survive and thrive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

The root causes of extinction, habitat destruction, pollution, climate change and ruthless wildlife exploitation are also the driving forces of systematic oppression and the marginalization and exploitation of many human identities. The Center’s Internal JEDAI Director will work with our People Services team, our JEDAI committee and leadership to ensure justice, equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion continue at the center.

Position Overview

The Director of Internal JEDAI (DoJEDAI), will provide strategic and creative leadership to advance the Center’s inclusion, equity and diversity goals.

The DoJEDAI will support the development and implementation of proactive and integrative policies, strategies and practices that lead to a more inclusive work culture, a broad base of diversity knowledge, support of affinity groups, and genuine inclusiveness. A successful candidate will use dynamic tools, continuous innovation and learning to reflect this in the workplace, the programs we carry out and our partnerships. They will serve as an institutional resource in areas of diversity, structural racism, justice, disability, ethnic and religious tolerance, equity, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression.

The Director of Internal JEDAI, will also actively support the People Services department in their role of improving recruitment and hiring. This will include hands-on recruitment and creatively strategizing more efficient and effective ways reaching diverse candidates.

This highly strategic and facilitative position requires proven experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion training, coaching and an understanding of institutional and structural oppression as experienced in the U.S. The position also requires project management skills including research, planning, organizing, developing, and participating in and/or leading cross cultural/functional teams. In addition, this role requires experience in collaborative problem solving. We are looking for someone with a balance of empathy and pragmatism and someone who is a team player and leads by example to build trust and credibility.

The position requires someone who is committed to an appreciative inquiry approach, building a learning culture, and striving to help shape a positive, affirmative organizational culture.

We are accepting applications for an Associate Attorney to conduct legal advocacy, including administrative advocacy and litigation, with the California Regional Office. The position requires 1-5 years post-law school legal experience. The attorney selected for this position will play a key role in legal actions that can make a real difference to people’s health and well-being and protect important environmental values.

With staff in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Earthjustice’s California Regional Office fights for the rights of all to a healthy environment, including: protecting communities and public lands from oil development, safeguarding ocean and terrestrial ecosystems and imperiled species, advancing clean energy innovation, clearing the air in Los Angeles and the Central Valley, opposing hazardous fossil fuel transport, and fighting dangerous pesticide use.

ABOUT WESTERN CONSERVATION FOUNDATION  

Founded in 2005, Western Conservation Foundation (WCF) is a 501(c)(3) public charity based in Denver, Colorado. Alongside our 501(c)(4) advocacy organization Western Conservation Action, Western Conservation Foundation provides grants to nonprofits to support their public education and lobbying activities that build stronger leaders to protect the West’s land, air, and water.

WCF is distinguished by its ability to be crafty, nimble, entrepreneurial, tenacious, and synergistic. They are game-changers who put a premium on turning new ideas into action and effectively educating the decision-makers who influence conservation policies in the West. If ideas #1, 2, and 3 don’t pan out, they keep at it until they find a way to make an impact. WCF is committed to changing the public lands policy and advocacy landscape by supporting the power, voices, and visibility of historically underrepresented groups.

THE OPPORTUNITY  

Reporting to a Deputy Director of the Federal Public Lands Program, the politically savvy Colorado or Nevada-based Program Manager will be responsible for building stronger leaders in support of federal public lands conservation policies, primarily by developing and managing a strategic philanthropic portfolio of conservation-related grants and contracts.

The Program Manager will strategically amplify the voice of grantees (especially those in frontline communities) and other key stakeholders to move decision-makers to protect Colorado’s and Nevada’s federal public lands through the development of advocacy campaign strategies. Additionally, this position will work extremely closely with WCF’s funding partners to maximize impact and reduce duplication of effort.
