Community Organizer

Movement for Justice in El Barrio (Movement) is an immigrant women led community organization fighting for justice in East Harlem, New York. Movement was founded to fight against a voracious trend towards gentrification that is devouring low-income housing and displacing immigrant & low-income families from their homes.

Movement fights for housing justice and immigration justice. In 2020, the organization expanded to address the impact of COVID-19 on our immigrant community.

Movement for Justice in El Barrio was named “Best Power to the People Movement in New York City” by the Village Voice.

Movement for Justice in El Barrio is offering this exciting opportunity to people committed to social justice and interested in doing community organizing. The Community Organizer’s activities will include doing outreach in the community, helping organize tenant associations and community forums and researching community issues.
