Health Justice Community Organizer (Part-Time)

About the organization

She Leads Justice (formerly Connecticut Women’s Education and Legal Fund/CWEALF) is an antiracist, intersectional feminist nonprofit in Connecticut. We use our institutional power to serve and center women and communities most impacted by systemic injustice and oppression. Using a justice and equity lens, we work to close the civil legal justice gap, advocate for policy that improves economic security, and organize for statewide systemic change.

Our work supports women who identify as cisgender and transgender, and non-binary individuals, as well as people of all marginalized gender identities systemically and historically oppressed by those in power.
