Project Coordinator: Justice for Real Survivors

The Center for Online Safety and Liberty (COSL) is looking for a volunteer Project Coordinator to design and execute a multi-jurisdictional campaign to advocate against the misuse of laws, policies, and terminology that should be reserved for real image abuse (such as CSAM and non-consensual abusive imagery) to suppress or prosecute other sorts of content, such as sex education, art, and fiction.

Key responsibilities

• Performing desk research on jurisdictions that do or do not use distinct laws, terminology, and official statistics for real image abuse cases, and creating an infographic to communicate the findings.
• Form a coalition with survivor groups to develop and promote the position that real abuse materials should be treated distinctly from other sorts of harmful, offensive, or obscene content.
• Promote other mechanisms to manage the harms associated with offensive fictional or artistic content, rather than censorship or criminalization.
• Convening a drafting group to write a position statement on the issue, and opening the statement as a letter/petition for the general public to sign.
• Working with other team members to prepare national and state level campaigns where pending laws or law reform opportunities exist to put our position statement into action.

Qualifications:

• Strong passion for digital rights, freedom of expression, and online safety.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to build networks and effectively engage stakeholders.
• Familiarity with social media campaign management, advocacy tools, and digital organizing.
• Comfort with collaborative international environments and cross-cultural communication.

Location: Remote

Commitment: Part-time, volunteer (estimated 5-10 hours/week).

Benefits:

• Professional development in advocacy, lobbying, and project coordination.
• Networking opportunities within global digital rights and civil liberties communities.
• Meaningful contribution toward protecting online freedom and safety worldwide.
