### About Reproductive Freedom for All (Formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America)
For more than 50 years, Reproductive Freedom for All and its chapters have fought to protect and expand reproductive freedom —including access to abortion and contraception — for everybody. We are powered by our more than 4 million members from every state and congressional district in the country, representing the 8 in 10 Americans who believe every person should have the freedom to make the best decision for themselves about if, when, and how to raise a family. 

Reproductive Freedom for All centers diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in our organization and our work. Continuously learning from our history, we hold ourselves accountable to achieve reproductive freedom with equitable access for everybody. As the oldest and largest national membership organization primarily focused on advocating for abortion access, we organize and mobilize, galvanizing millions of people to take action to defend reproductive freedom, and shining a spotlight of accountability on bad actors who work to impose their ideological agenda on others. We also work to elect champions for reproductive freedom and advance state and federal legislation to safeguard it.

### Reproductive Freedom for All Seeks California Organizer
Reproductive Freedom for All is seeking an organizer in the Bay Area to identify, train, and mobilize volunteers and volunteer leaders to elect reproductive freedom champions and work to get reproductive freedom legislation passed at the state level. The organizer will coordinate events throughout Northern California and virtually, manage our regional volunteer-led action councils, nurture relationships with community members, and recruit new members to join Reproductive Freedom for All. The candidate must be deeply committed to centering and uplifting the voices of marginalized Californians and turning them into our next generation of reproductive freedom leaders. They must also understand that people who are closest to the problems have the best solutions and the job of the organizer is to turn their passion into action.
