In 2020, EDF re-focused its justice and equity efforts, forming an internal EJ Council and hiring a new VP for Environmental Justice and Equity.  We have had some successes in addressing disparate impacts, but continue to work toward a more systematic and impactful integration of these issues into our core program work

A basic principle of ecology is that diversity in an ecosystem fosters strength and resilience.  At EDF, we believe that by creating a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion in both our staff and our programmatic work, we can help to foster greater strengths and resilience in EDF and the communities in which we work.

ABOUT RAN

For more than 30 years, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has campaigned to preserve
forests, protect the climate and uphold human rights by challenging corporate power
and systemic injustice through research, education, partnerships, peaceful direct action,
grassroots organizing, strategic campaigns and communications. We are committed to
working with Indigenous and frontline communities directly impacted by profit-driven
systems of injustice. In partnership with allies from around the world, RAN challenges
corporations to stop destructive operations, respect human rights, and adopt policies
that reduce their contributions to climate change.

THE POSITION

Rainforest Action Network is seeking a Communications Manager to help shape and
execute the communications strategy for our Climate and Energy Program.
Over the past two decades, RAN has become one of the global leaders in developing
and implementing some of the most effective strategies to challenge the fossil fuel
industry and deforestation practices, two of the biggest drivers of climate change, by
cutting off the supply of capital and insurance to these destructive sectors. We expose
and directly confront the major financiers and insurers of destructive industries,
challenging their social and market license to continue supporting disastrous projects
that threaten and destroy communities. RAN’s campaigns have succeeded in pushing
leading banks like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi and Royal Bank of Canada to
pass policies that curb investments in companies that contribute to climate change,

deforestation and human rights abuses. The program has had incredible success calling
on the leading financiers of the coal industry, such as Bank of America, to end their
underwriting of coal completely.
The successful candidate will be able to produce compelling, high quality,
detail-intensive work often on tight deadlines, and will possess excellent judgment, be
adaptable to rapidly shifting programmatic developments, and eager to seize media
opportunities. Exceptionally strong writing skills and an ability to pinpoint effective
messages are critical. Experience working with traditional news media and a track
record of taking projects to successful completion are also highly desired.

ABOUT RAN

For more than 30 years, Rainforest Action Network (RAN) has campaigned to preserve forests, protect the climate and uphold human rights by challenging corporate power and systemic injustice through research, education, partnerships, non-violent direct action, grassroots organizing, strategic campaigns and communications. We are committed to working with Indigenous and frontline communities directly impacted by profit-driven systems of injustice. In partnership with allies from around the world, RAN challenges corporations to stop destructive operations, respect human rights, and adopt policies that reduce their contributions to climate change.​ RAN is committed to doing what is necessary, not only what is considered politically feasible.

THE POSITION

The Climate and Energy Program Director is responsible for the overall vision and day-to-day management of RAN’s climate and energy program to keep fossil fuels in the ground and persuade corporate targets — including the world’s largest banks and insurance companies— to develop and implement comprehensive climate, environmental, and human rights policies to guide their lending and underwriting. RAN’s Climate & Energy team aims to move financial systems to address the climate crisis. This position will drive the Climate and Energy team forward to call out corporate greenwashing and inadequate government response while ensuring our work is aligned with that of our frontline and grassroots partners. RAN is committed to pushing back against corporate power, challenging bad public policy on climate & energy, and continuing to punch above our weight.

This is a highly collaborative position, working closely with communication, digital, organizing and development departments. The ideal candidate will thrive at coordinating inter-departmental teams, managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced campaigning environment, listening to and incorporating feedback from team members and frontline partners, and have a strong understanding of racial justice and equity issues. The Climate and Energy Program Director will serve on the Leadership Team of the organization and will report to the Deputy Executive Director.

About the Chesapeake Bay Foundation

Established in 1967, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is the largest regional nonprofit conservation organization dedicated to saving the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers and streams, and the wildlife that call it home through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration. Since 2010, CBF has engaged in a focused effort to defend and implement the Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint, a binding federal and state collaborative agreement aimed at reducing pollution to the science-based, legally-affirmed levels established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Blueprint is expected to be fully implemented by 2025. If the states and the federal government achieve Blueprint goals, the Bay will finally—after decades of failed efforts—be removed from the Clean Water Act’s impaired waters list. Successfully implementing the Blueprint depends on a well-informed, engaged, active, and diverse constituency of members, advocates, and volunteers who speak up and take action to save the Bay.

The Port Isobel Education Center is a 250-acre island that is situated in the heart of the Tangier Island archipelago.  The island showcases a variety of estuarine habitats such as: marshes, a pine forest, and a ¼ mile beach.  The program is focused on understanding the delicate relationship between the ecosystem and the watermen’s’ community of Tangier.  The full-time, on-site staff consists of a Captain, Program Manager, and Assistant Manager.  All program staff serve as co-educators who plan and facilitate the field experiences for students.  Using a 50-ft USCG inspected vessel, canoes, and the surrounding marshes, the participants explore various ecosystems, examine plant and animal species, analyze water quality, and discuss the socio-economic issues facing residents of the Bay watershed, in general, and the local watermen communities.  The Port Isobel Captain is responsible for maintaining the USCG inspected vessel and providing educational experiences for participants that includes activities such as setting crab pots, dredging for oysters, and scraping the nearby underwater grass meadows.

During the fall and spring seasons, the Port Isobel Center staff typically lead 3-day field programs for students traveling from within the watershed.  In the summer, and occasionally during the rest of the year, the center hosts a variety of trip participants including adult groups, teacher groups, and student leadership programs.  Housing is provided and the captain must live on-site for education programming during the Spring, Summer, and Fall field program seasons. The centers are winterized from December – February and no housing is provided during that time.
