Position Description

Gender Justice works to advance gender equity through the law, and envisions a world where everyone can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation. They work to dismantle legal, structural, and cultural barriers that contribute to gender inequity. Gender Justice sees access to abortion, contraception, LGB rights, transgender rights, and more as part of the same fight for gender justice. The Advocacy and Research Specialist will lead projects to advance trans-inclusive policies in youth-serving organizations and research the experiences of people seeking abortion and pregnancy care in the Upper Midwest.
