Role: Movement building reporter, communities Department: Special series team Reports to: Editor, movement building Location: Flexible Hybrid/Remote/In-Person: Hybrid Terms and conditions: One-year contract Salary: $99-104k annually The Guardian is seeking a dynamic and ambitious reporter for a new project focused on movement building and efforts to protect civil rights in the US. This project will amplify underreported and emerging stories about the people and organizations fighting for fundamental rights and liberties at this critical moment in America. From fractious town halls to protests in cities enduring immigration raids, new political voices and coalitions are emerging. We want to help readers both in the US and globally understand how these pro-democracy movements and grassroots organizing efforts are building power. At a time when old coalitions seem to have fallen apart, we will cover new leaders and organizations making themselves heard. Areas of coverage will include immigration and civil rights, racial and economic justice, climate and environment, healthcare, the constitution and the rule of law. This is a national story, but the project will be anchored by deep local reporting.
