Environmental Justice Program Officer, Namati (Washington, D.C.)

July 17, 2020 /

We are searching for a dynamic teammate to support a new crew of legal empowerment advocates in Maryland and Washington DC. This is an opportunity to build an approach to environmental justice that could hold promise for the whole country. We have identified extraordinary advocates to form our first U.S. legal empowerment team– people like Fred Tutman, the only black River Keeper in the country, and Rhonda Hamilton, who has led her neighborhood in Buzzards Point to take on pollution and gentrification at the same time. The advocates are learning from each other and deepening their work together.

We’ve just begun: the EJ Program Officer will help build this pilot into something lasting and powerful.

In collaboration with our team, the Officer will support legal empowerment advocates and the communities they’re serving to understand environmental regulation, and to pursue concrete remedies to environmental injustice. The Officer will equip the advocates to engage creatively across the institutional landscape—from departments of environment and public health to zoning boards—especially as federal regulation has weakened.
