EXPERIENCED SOCIAL JUSTICE LAWYER SEEKS POSITION WITH NON-PROFIT DEDICATED TO ANIMAL RIGHTS, URBAN ENVIRONMENT, OR EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN/GIRLS

Hey everyone,

For nearly a decade, as a social justice lawyer with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Alternatives for Community & Environment, and the Center for Reproductive Rights, I represented underserved communities, by partnering with low-income residents working to build environmentally and economically sustainable neighborhoods, and women seeking to challenge restrictions on access to reproductive health care services.  I’ve developed and sharpened a wide array of skills through this work, including organizing and chairing community meetings, running media campaigns, teaching environmental stewardship in schools, creating public education materials, building a statewide database of volunteer environmental professionals, directing legal intern programs, and advocating for my clients in the federal and state courts, before regulatory agencies and legislative bodies, and through government advisory committees.

After taking a couple of years off to recharge and do some soul-searching, I've decided to return to the non-profit and social justice world, where my heart and passions have and always will reside. I am currently looking for an advocacy position with a non-profit organization or governmental agency whose mission is animal rights/welfare, or the urban environment and public health, or the empowerment of women and girls.

Let me know if you have any strong leads or other helpful information! Thanks very much.

Michelle
