THE OPPORTUNITY
Project 50 is seeking a fearless and visionary Executive Director who will launch and lead a new political action committee to advocate for equitable access to safe and affordable reproductive healthcare, including abortion. Project 50 is committed to substantially funding this new organization for its first three years of growth and impact. The Executive Director will initially report to Project 50’s Political Director and then to the new organization’s Board of Directors once established. Project 50 is a non-partisan PAC that invests in and grows state-based organizations to build political and electoral power at the local level to secure abortion rights in all 50 states. Our vision is that everyone, everywhere must have the right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions to chart their future. Project 50 is building that reality, beginning in states that have banned abortion healthcare. (More information at www.project50pac.org.)
