Overview

Responsible for Social Media, Website, List Building, Email Solicitations & Online Giving Program

The Trade Justice Education Fund (TJEF) is a new nonprofit that sponsors public education programs designed to expand awareness about the worker rights, environment and climate, and public health implications of U.S. trade policy.

TJEF’s mission includes increasing public understanding of just, sustainable trade policy alternatives, as opposed to the business-as-usual neoliberalism versus racist nationalism frame that is often presented as the scope of the trade policy debate.

With deep roots in the labor, environmental, family farm, faith and consumer movements, TJEF’s officers and directors together have decades of leadership experience in trade issue education.  Current TJEF programs include campaigns on global COVID-19 vaccine equity, climate justice, worker rights and more.

TJEF is seeking a Social Media & Online Giving Coordinator responsible for setting up and maintaining our social media accounts, website, list building, email solicitations, online giving program and other online and membership-related tasks needed to keep a small nonprofit thriving.
