The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, they seek to nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. The Just Migration Communications Research Analyst will lead a portfolio of research and communications initiatives aimed at shaping public narratives around migration, detention, and deportation in the US. The fellow will update and expand AFSC’s previous research on public attitudes toward immigrants, migration, detention, and deportation; design new approaches to understanding public sentiment on these issues; and develop strategies to shape opinion through effective language, messaging, and framing.
