Shout Your Abortion Hiring for Administrative Assistant at Remote Full Time

Shout Your Abortion (SYA) is normalizing abortion and elevating safe paths to access, in a post-Roe America. SYA makes resources, campaigns, and media intended to arm existing activists, create new ones, and foster collective participation in abortion access all over the country. SYA has historically been led and organized in an informal, overlapping and intimately connected style, which has been effective and impactful for our small size, resulting in outsized influence. As we grow in size, impact, and public awareness, SYA seeks to maintain our non-traditional style, but with added structure and direction.

Shout Your Abortion is searching for an experienced, collaborative, and values-aligned Administrative Assistant to handle the logistics and coordination needs across the organization. The Administrative Assistant must be able to respond swiftly and effectively to external and internal requests for support. The Administrative Assistant is responsible for managing and executing the organization’s administrative needs.

We believe a diverse workforce is an asset to our organization and the movement. SYA is an equal opportunity employer. People of color, people who have experienced pregnancy, parenting, abortion, and/or adoption, people with disabilities, and those who identify as transgender, nonbinary, or LGBTQIA are strongly encouraged to apply.

At SYA, we believe that:

• Joy, honesty, and authenticity are fundamental to our humanity and therefore make effective communications tactics.
• Personal truths and stories are powerful and have the capacity to change the world.
• People need to be able to be themselves at work, and we prioritize giving space to each employee to live their lives fully outside of work.
• Staff will always be supported in doing what they need to do to tend to their mental and emotional health.

Because abortion access impacts literally everyone, SYA’s message is valuable in every community, and we hope to support every kind of person in discussing the impact and value of abortion access.

Our staff, resources and tools shall explicitly be used to dismantle white supremacy – through micro-level conversations about race and SYA; in future staff and contractor decisions; in program development, by giving money, power and opportunity to Black people and people of color; and by communicating to our followers that the way that the fight to normalize abortion and expand access is inseparable from the fight for racial justice.

We desire an Administrative Assistant that shares these values and practices.
