Advocacy Organizer

The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network seeks a motivated and passionate individual to support our policy work at the local and state level. This position will be a part of WAISN’s Policy and Advocacy Team and will report to the Policy Manager. The Policy and Advocacy Team’s focus is on advancing community-centered policies at local, state, and federal level that benefit immigrant and refugee communities in Washington State.

The Advocacy Organizer will work directly with the Policy Manager to advance advocacy efforts on immigration policy and WAISN’s secondary and tertiary priorities. The Advocacy Organizer will be responsible for deepening organizational partnerships and leading WAISN’s advocacy efforts to advance campaigns on our secondary and tertiary policy platform at the state level and at the direction of the Policy Manager to support organizing efforts in federal immigration policy. Additionally, the Advocacy Organizer will collaborate with the Policy Director and Campaigns Manager to support in building relationships that benefit our state primary policy priorities. This person will need to have strong organizing and relationship building skills as they will work in coalition with other advocacy organizations and in deep collaboration with all members of the Policy and Advocacy team.

All organizer positions within WAISN are essential to bringing people together in building collective power and driving systemic change. At the heart of this work is relationship-building – connecting through one-on-one conversations in-person and virtually, community-based listening sessions, and participating in community gatherings to foster trust and solidarity. These interpersonal and communal relationships form the backbone of collective action. Beyond immediate wins, all WAISN organizers focus on long-term movement building, creating lasting change by empowering our communities through knowledge and resource sharing.

This is a full-time position and will be fully-remote but with some in-person requirements, including being in Olympia, Washington some days during the state legislative session and in Seattle, if assisting with local initiatives.
