National Organizer of Membership Engagement

About The Right To The City Alliance (RTTC)

Right to the City Alliance (RTTC) emerged in 2007 with a strong and powerful vision to
1) halt the displacement of low-income people, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, LGBTQ communities, and youth of color, and
2) protect and expand affordable housing in tandem with a broader movement to build democratic and just healthy communities for the 21st century.

Since its inception, RTTC has quickly grew to encompass over 90 community-based racial, economic, gender, and environmental justice organizations located in 26 states and 45 cities. Representing true grassroots power and leadership of the most impacted, RTTC’s member organizations weave together local on-the-ground organizing, policy, and advocacy campaigns to build a robust and unstoppable national movement for inclusive, healthy housing and community development.

We take the work seriously, but not ourselves:
Right to the City is committed to a work culture of care and balance. We understand that rigor and rest are compatible and both are necessary to reach our movement building goals. We actively work to audit our policy and culture in service of our commitment to racial justice and feminist praxis. Principled struggle and generative conflict are core commitments and we take a transformative approach to resolving harm.

While we take our commitments seriously, our work environment commonly includes jokes, laughter, celebration and all other manner of enjoyable human experiences.

The RTTC National Organizer will play a critical role in the Homes for All Campaign, a nationally coordinated campaign to win rent control and social housing at the state and local level. This position will support working groups made up of RTTC member organizations.

This organizer will guide campaign planning, strategy development, base-building integration, and cross-member coordination, and implement translocal organizing plans that advance land decommodification, tenant power, and housing justice nationally.

The National Organizer plays a key role in aligning member-led campaigns with RTTC’s Strategic Objective, strengthening leadership pipelines, and building durable tenant infrastructure across geographies.

We are looking for someone who is strategic, relational, and deeply grounded in grassroots organizing, someone who can hold political complexity, coach leaders, and support multi-site coordination while building collective power.
