The Membership Engagement Director will work closely with the Executive Director to mobilize resources to advance a progressive movement rooted in racial justice; create a welcoming, productive and shared learning space for values-aligned donors; and establish a political home for community members seeking connection and a place to strategically and ethically invest in our collective future.
