Extreme Weather Survivors (EWS) is a national network that connects people impacted by

extreme weather disasters like floods, wildfires and related air pollution, superstorms, drought,

and extreme heat. We provide trauma-informed support, peer-to-peer disaster recovery training,

and advocate to keep these disasters from devastating more families. EWS supports extreme

weather survivor participation in media, in town halls, on social media and with policymakers to

be storytellers and change makers in the fight to slow climate change.

Social movements throughout history—from gun violence prevention to marriage

equality—show that mobilizing and centering the voices of directly impacted people is the most

impactful way to create mass movements, shift public narratives and spark policy change. We

know which stories can move mountains; our task is to ensure they are heard.

EWS is a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4)organization.

Extreme weather disasters worsened by fossil fuel pollution are increasing in both frequency

and intensity – and our nascent organization is building the first national network of people

directly harmed. This role will offer unique, exciting and meaningful work, because this

organization is doing groundbreaking work by serving people across the country that are not

currently supported in the important ways that they need to be. We’re looking for someone as

excited as us about the opportunity to build this network.

EWS seeks an innovative, creative and highly motivated Digital Organizing Strategist to run

our digital organizing program serving Americans harmed by extreme weather disasters.. The

organizer will be responsible for building our digital infrastructure to create this national network

with a dynamic, engaged online community. Digital strategy must be trauma-informed, and the

organizer must have a high degree of emotional intelligence and a commitment to building a

community that centers racial, income, geographic, age, and gender diversity. The

organizer must have experience building relationships and be comfortable speaking with

extreme weather survivors.
