• Partner with EANY’s policy team to develop and execute communications campaigns around key legislative and policy priorities.

• Translate complex environmental policy into clear, compelling public narratives.

• Write action alerts, digital advocacy campaigns, supporter toolkits, and other campaign materials.

• Develop messaging that mobilizes supporters and helps advance EANY’s policy goals.

• Monitor news and legislative developments to identify opportunities for rapid response communications.

• Write and produce email communications, including newsletters, action alerts, fundraising support, and organizational announcements.

• Support the continued growth of EANY’s influencer engagement program by helping cultivate relationships with creators and developing collaborative content.

• Help ensure EANY’s voice remains clear, engaging, and consistent across all communications.

• Collaborate with EANY’s public relations firm, Propulsion Strategies, to identify and secure earned media opportunities.

• Draft press releases, media materials, talking points, and spokesperson preparation as needed.

• Help position EANY as a leading voice on environmental issues in New York.

• Maintain and update EANY’s website, hosted on Word Press and digital advocacy tool, Congress Plus
