Overview
New Pluralists is a cross-ideological collaborative composed of funders and field builders to catalyze pluralism in American culture. We believe that the promise of pluralism is core to America realizing our founding ideals of liberty, equality, and justice — making it possible for us to live among, work with, and care about people different from us. It enables us to navigate conflict as a natural part of a healthy and peaceful democracy. It invites us to come together across race and ethnicity, faith, geography, socioeconomic status, political affiliation, and other lines of difference to strengthen our communities and solve the challenges we face as a democracy.
The work of living up to our founding ideals has been unfinished, with hopeful steps forward alongside profound failures. We are growing increasingly segregated and polarized along class, racial, ethnic, religious, and ideological lines, and we are losing trust in each other and the promise of participatory democracy. Research suggests that most Americans are exhausted with the current climate and hungry for different ways to come together, navigate conflicts both big and small, and solve problems.
As a key leader in our young, ambitious, and vibrant organization, the Director of Communications will play a vital role in elevating pluralism and making it feel concrete, energizing, and useful across a range of audiences and stakeholders. To power the momentum and potential of pluralism to take root in our culture, the Director of Communications will break down dynamic, ambiguous, complex, and nuanced ideas into simple and resonant messaging and stories and enable New Pluralists to respond to dynamic cultural moments in ways that advance our mission.
By driving impactful strategic communications and creative storytelling, the Director of Communications will foster alignment among New Pluralists, our field, and funding partners to practice and engage others in pluralism. They will position New Pluralists, our field and funding partners, and the pluralism ecosystem for impact and influence, such that many types of audiences, sectors, and partners see the value in and want to build a culture of pluralism with us.
Reporting to the Executive Director, the Director of Communications will develop and execute on creative and dynamic communications strategies that elevate and amplify the impact of New Pluralists, our strategies, and initiatives.
About New Pluralists
The work of living up to our founding ideals as a country has been unfinished, with
hopeful steps forward alongside profound failures. We are growing increasingly
segregated and polarized along class, racial, ethnic, religious, and ideological lines,
and we are losing trust in each other and in the promise of participatory democracy.
Research suggests that most Americans are exhausted with the current climate, and
are hungry for different ways to come together, navigate conflicts both big and small,
and solve problems.
New Pluralists is meeting that hunger by inviting us all to proactively build a different
reality that reflects our country’s founding commitment to equality, dignity, and
justice. As a pooled fund, we are raising and investing $100M by 2032 to catalyze this
fundamental cultural shift.
