North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (NCCADP)

Date Posted: 10/21/2026

The North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (NCCADP) includes 28 partner organizations and thousands of individuals committed to ending North Carolina’s death penalty. We envision a North Carolina free from state killing where justice is rooted in racial equity, healing, and addressing harm without perpetuating it. We work with and educate lawmakers, communities, and the public about the racist, unjust and ineffectual death penalty. We advocate for equitable alternatives, rooted in restorative justice, that promote healing and increase public health and safety. We center the voices of people most proximate to the death penalty: homicide survivor family members (including executions) and individuals living on or exonerated from death row and their families. We believe their leadership and stories are key to transforming our system.

NCCADP has experienced exciting growth and success since 2024 when Gov. Roy Cooper commuted 15 death sentences at the conclusion of a two-year campaign led by the organization. North Carolina has not executed anyone in more than 20 years, yet some lawmakers are eager to resume, even in the midst of failed executions in other states. We seek a strong, creative leader and team player to build on this momentum at a critical time for our movement. The ideal candidate will have a passion for criminal justice reform, exceptional communications skills, and at least three years of relevant experience.

NCCADP strongly encourages applications from people who have direct experience with the carceral state in North Carolina, including people who are formerly incarcerated themselves or those who have incarcerated loved ones. We also encourage applications from people who have survived violence, as well as those who have lost loved ones to violence, including homicide and execution. NCCADP strives to create a team that reflects our commitment to racial justice and equity; and therefore, we especially seek applications from Black and Brown people, people with disabilities, and people who identify as LGBTQ.

The Director of Communications must live in North Carolina and will work remotely, with some travel for in-person events and meetings across the state as required.

Key Responsibilities

1. Direct and implement NCCADP’s communications:

• Create strategic communications such as petitions, targeted messages, and calls to action.

• Liaise with partner organization communications staff to facilitate sharing events and information and deepen engagement from their memberships.

• Develop and implement a digital organizing strategy in collaboration with staff and coalition partners.

• Maintain and update NCCADP’s WordPress website.

• Draft and distribute press releases and media advisories; maintain and expand press lists; track and share relevant media coverage.

• Design digital and print communications materials, including graphics, event flyers, reports, and campaign toolkits.

2. Develop and maintain NCCADP’s databases, including:

• Donors and donor acknowledgement.

• Media outlets.

• Volunteers, coalition members, and partners.

3. Support NCCADP events and programs:

• Collaborate with staff and volunteers on planning and promotion of in-person and virtual events.

• Represent NCCADP at community events and coalition gatherings.

4. Serve as an active and collaborative member of a small, high-functioning team:

• May include onboarding and supervising interns and volunteers supporting communications, research, and outreach initiatives as needed.

• Previous experience managing a CRM and using digital organizing strategies, including social media platforms.

• Personal commitment to NCCADP’s mission to end the death penalty and to NCCADP’s core values of racial justice, centering the voices of people most proximate to the death penalty, and restorative justice.

• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.

• Self-motivated and ability to meet deadlines.

• Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively with staff, volunteers, and interns.

• Proficient with computer and office software, social media, and basic graphic design.

• Ability to photograph or video events.

Hours and compensation: This is a remote, full-time position (37.5 hrs/wk) with traditional daytime hours and occasional evening or weekend hours. It will also require occasional in-person meetings and events, sometimes in different areas of the state.

Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN)

Date Posted: 10/19/2026

Chesapeake Climate Action Network is seeking an experienced social media specialist to expand our audience and mobilize supporters to take action for the climate.

The Social Media Manager is responsible for creating, managing, and optimizing content across platforms and highlighting key organizational and campaign moments. The manager will think holistically about our social media environment, creating and enabling others on our team to create content that broadens and grows our audience. Our ideal candidate brings an ability to enhance and expand social media presence and effectiveness as a cause-driven influencer or for a nonprofit or for-profit organization. This person should thrive at the intersection of storytelling and strategy, understand how audiences engage with cause-driven content, and execute with speed and quality across formats.

About Us

Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) is the only group in the Chesapeake region of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC, dedicated exclusively to building a powerful grassroots movement to fight climate change. We envision an equitable energy future where truly clean sources of power - solar, wind, and geothermal - sustain every aspect of our lives, efficiency is prioritized, and fossil fuels have been phased out. We are working on bold campaigns that would result in energy policies matching the scale of the climate crisis. Since 2002, we have been pushing the envelope of what’s politically possible in the Chesapeake region and beyond, using every tool inside and outside the box—from organizing to lobbying to the law.

What You Will Do

The primary responsibilities of the position include:

Content Development and Storytelling

• Personally develop and produce high-quality video content that engages audiences across social media platforms.

• Create compelling social media narratives around key events and campaign moments.

• Use social media to tell the story of our campaigns and inspire audiences to action.

• Recruit, coach, and collaborate with colleagues on content development to make our outreach more scalable while also enhancing quality and impact.

Platform and Channel Management

• Evaluate CCAN’s existing social media channels, compare them to channels used by other nonprofits, and identify strategies to increase engagement and reach.

• Measurably increase engagement (followers and clicks) across platforms.

• Monitor content performance and provide regular reporting on engagement, reach, and audience growth.

Analytics and Optimization

• Track and analyze content performance across channels, measuring our results alongside other nonprofit peers, using data to identify what’s working and where to optimize.

• Develop regular content performance reports and surface insights to inform strategy.

• Test content formats, messaging angles, and distribution approaches to continuously improve audience engagement.

• Watch for outstanding third-party content providers, especially those speaking to our issues, and explore opportunities for leveraging sponsored content

Qualifications

• Motivated to take on the climate crisis and ready to apply your skills and creativity to a complex, existential issue.

• Three to five years of experience creating and managing engaging content across multiple social media channels. Nonprofit experience is preferred but not required.

• Demonstrated success building or expanding an audience by at least 10k followers, either for a personal or organizational account.

• Proficient storyteller, able to translate policy priorities into clear and inspiring visual and written content.

• Ability to consistently produce quality visual content.

• Self-motivated and comfortable collaborating with a team.

• A valid driver’s license. The social media manager will travel throughout Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia to film or photograph events and activities.

Don’t meet every single requirement? We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace and value lived and work experience; therefore, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply! You might be the perfect candidate for this or another role at CCAN.
