About The Position

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. As a Writer on the Grassroots Editorial Team, you’ll help The LIBRE Initiative communicate clearly and effectively with Hispanic communities across the country. LIBRE empowers Latino Americans to build a freer, more prosperous future by advancing policy solutions that expand opportunity and improve people's lives. In this role, you’ll lead LIBRE’s editorial calendar and written content while writing blogs, emails, web content, and grassroots advocacy materials for English- and Spanish-speaking audiences. You’ll translate complex policy ideas into accessible, culturally relevant messages that help community members, grassroots activists, lawmakers, and coalition partners understand key issues and take action. This is primarily a LIBRE-focused role, though you may also support related grassroots editorial priorities across the Stand Together community, like Americans for Prosperity.
