The ACLU of WA is seeking a savvy, dynamic, and seasoned political strategist to help build and lead a new Political Strategies Department and to bring to bear advocacy and political strategies to ensure that work throughout the office takes the most effective approaches to achieve our goals.
Building upon our strong record of policy advocacy, the Director will work with our staff to develop multi-faceted, long-range campaigns, while at the same time, ensuring that we respond quickly to immediate opportunities to make an impact. Candidates should be experienced enough to bring additional political acumen to an already strong staff. Our lawyers, policy experts, and other professionals work in sometimes fast-changing situations and are able to take advantage of opportunities while adhering to civil liberties principles and treating others respectfully. We value readiness and reliability, and we pay particular attention to the rights of those who have historically been marginalized. We seek a leader who shares these qualities and can apply them to gain effective outcomes.
OVERVIEW
The ACLU-WA is one of the ten largest affiliates of the ACLU with more than 80,000 members and activists.

Work at the ACLU involves teamwork, strong attention to detail, excellent communications skills, and a passion for our mission.

We have also participated as leaders of campaigns to safeguard abortion rights, legalize marijuana, and win marriage equality. With our growing base of activists, we can have an even greater impact on opinion leaders and policy makers.
The new Political Strategies Department will initially include our Legislative Director, who is the organization’s chief representative before the Washington Legislature with primary responsibility for legislative and executive branch advocacy; our Field Director, who works to support, strengthen and mobilize our network of organizational allies to advance ACLU priorities; and an Activism Coordinator who relates to the new national ACLU People Power program. The Director will report to the Executive Director.

Overview
Multnomah County : Located in northwestern Oregon at the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, Multnomah County is at the heart of one of the most livable areas in the United States. The County offers natural splendor and urban amenities alike: it is home to the scenic wonders of the Columbia River Gorge and the western slopes of picturesque Mt. Hood, and to the urban sophistication of Portland, Oregon's largest city. The City boasts 10,000 acres of park land in 206 locations (including the largest forested wilderness park within an American city), as well as ballet, symphony, and theater companies. In addition, sports enthusiasts can choose from the NBA Portland Trail Blazers, the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League, and the Portland Timbers Major League Soccer Team. The County's diverse population has grown in recent years to more than 735,000 and the metro area is over 2 million. Multnomah County Government : The County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners, consisting of four non-partisan members elected from designated districts, and the Board Chair, who is elected at large. The Chair also provides executive direction as the County's CEO. The County provides diverse services to the community, including libraries, social services, health clinics, regulatory health services, supervision and custody of juvenile and adult offenders, criminal prosecution, road maintenance, and law enforcement for unincorporated areas. Department of Community Justice : Vision ~ Community Safety through Positive Change The Department of Community Justice (DCJ) is recognized as a national leader in both adult and juvenile community justice. DCJ routinely consults and makes use of evidence-based practices in our program and policy development. The Department's commitment to data-informed decision-making has led DCJ to make smart investments of taxpayer dollars in supervision, sanctions, and services for the county's highest risk and highest need offenders. DCJ makes long-term investments in its employees through the provision of education and training. The Department believes that in order to enhance public safety we must work collaboratively with the judiciary, law enforcement, schools, treatment agencies, and the community. The Department shares information with community members, partners, and staff to keep communities safe by preventing and reducing crime and routinely evaluating which local policies support best practices. DCJ operates 24 hours a day, with nearly 700 permanent, on-call, and temporary employees. The Department supervises approximately 7,600 adult probationers and parolees and those defendants requiring pretrial services. DCJ's Juvenile Services Division operates the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Facility and is responsible for approximately 360 youth on formal and informal community supervision.
