About FADP

Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP) is Florida’s statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to ending capital punishment and promoting safer, more effective alternatives to execution. We educate the public, mobilize communities, support people directly impacted by the death penalty, and advocate for policies that advance justice, dignity, and public safety.

Florida is currently the busiest executing state in the nation. As executions accelerate and policymakers continue to expand the use of capital punishment, this is a pivotal moment for the movement to end the death penalty. FADP is seeking a passionate, strategic, and action-oriented Community Organizer to help build grassroots power across Florida and engage communities in the fight for a more just future.

Position Summary

The Community Organizer will report directly to the Executive Director and play a central role in expanding FADP’s statewide organizing efforts. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys working with people, building coalitions, mobilizing communities, and turning ideas into action.

This is not a desk-bound position. The Organizer will spend significant time in communities across Florida, developing relationships, supporting local leaders, organizing events and actions, and helping execute advocacy campaigns. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can work independently, adapt quickly to changing circumstances, identify opportunities to advance FADP’s mission without requiring extensive supervision, and feel energized by building something rather than inheriting it.

This role offers significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape organizing strategy at a critical moment in Florida’s death penalty landscape.

This is a remote position that may be based anywhere in Florida, though candidates located in Orlando, Tampa Bay, Miami-Dade, Broward, or surrounding regions are preferred.
