Are you interested in building the global labor movement by connecting workers across borders and driving international worker campaigns?
Solidarity Center seeks an experienced labor activist to help build international solidarity between U.S. worker organizations and worker organizations abroad, facilitating strategic connections across the globe among workers and unions. The primary focus of this position is on building solidarity between U.S. unions and allied organizations (for women, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and immigrant communities) with workers and unions abroad for short-term campaigns and long-term solidarity. The Grassroots Internationalism Sr Officer will identify and drive opportunities for international solidarity and collaboration, ensure buy-in, and develop the knowledge and mechanisms to connect rank-and-file workers, local unions, and worker organizations across borders around the world.
This individual will be responsible for outreach to American unions and worker rights groups, facilitating collaboration between organizations in the U.S. and Solidarity Center’s partners abroad. The Grassroots Internationalism Sr Officer will also serve an educational function in distilling lessons learned from the global fight for worker rights and economic fairness and sharing them with the U.S. labor movement. This individual will help identify worker struggles where international solidarity may be possible in SC field offices abroad as well as in the US, and help to organize solidarity efforts in both directions.
The Grassroots Internationalism Sr Officer will also be responsible for developing and implementing Solidarity Center’s Exchange Program, which connects unionists in the US with unionists abroad via strategic exchange trips. This individual will represent Solidarity Center at meetings and conferences in the U.S. and abroad, and will be required to travel extensively to help identify and support international worker campaigns.
