JOB DESCRIPTION
Communications Manager (Part Time)
WHOWEARE
Born out of the legal efforts at JFK Airport during the Muslim Ban, Immigrant ARC has been growing exponentially since spinning out as a stand alone non-profit three years ago. During that time, we have helped coordinate responses to multiple immigration needs and helped strengthen and grow the immigration legal services field in order to increase immigrant New Yorker’s access to counsel and access to justice.
Our community includes over 80 legal service providers in New York State. We come together in solidarity with all New Yorkers who believe in fair and just immigration policies and who share our collective outrage at the injustices confronting immigrant communities. We use our knowledge of immigration law and practice to empower each other and the communities we serve to collectively fight systemic oppression and seek respect and dignity for all.
