About CCC + CCCAction:
The Center for Community Change (CCC) builds the power and capacity of low-income people, especially low-income people of color, to lead powerful and dynamic movements for social change. With our community-based partner groups, we bridge the grassroots and the national, supporting outsider strategies to disrupt the status quo while also building pathways to influence the insider conversation.
Our vision of a better world centers the leadership of impacted people of color to move our work on immigrant rights, economic justice, and racial equity, including a focus on jobs and housing, early childhood care and education, income supports, and immigration reform.
This position also supports the Center for Community Change Action (CCCA), an affiliated 501(c)(4) advocacy organization. While motivated by the same core values – equity, inclusion, and justice – CCC and CCCA operate independently of one another and each organization has its own board of directors.

- Writing media advisories, statements and press releases.
- Acting as a liaison at public events for press and as a spokesperson if needed.
- Creating high level content, such as writing op-eds, designing graphics and/or producing video or other multimedia content.
- Managing content creators, such as CCC/A communications fellows and guiding their work from idea to realization. Working as editor, mentor and coach to fellows.
