Position Description

Founded in 2019, Justice Action Center (JAC) is a startup social justice organization that combines the power of storytelling with impact litigation to bring justice to immigrant communities. We focus on fulfilling unmet needs historically overlooked in the nonprofit immigration space through creative legal and communications strategies that center the needs and experiences of our plaintiffs. The Narrative Research Content Specialist will strengthen JAC’s storytelling and research capacities in pursuit of immigrant justice by engaging with JAC plaintiffs and other impacted individuals to create content that centers migrant voices; using storytelling strategies to support the communications, litigation, and research work of JAC; and applying their research expertise to help shape public narratives.
