Job description

Title: Regional Development Associate
Reports to: Director of GIFFORDS Regional Development Program
Direct reports: none
Hours: full-time, non-exempt (eligible for overtime)
Location: Washington, DC
For more than three decades, we've been on the front lines of the movement to create a safer America. Our organization was forged in the aftermath of two horrific tragedies that redefined the fight for gun safety. In 1993, a mass shooting at a San Francisco law firm led to the creation of the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, the nation's early, preeminent force for researching and defending gun safety laws. In 2016, the Law Center joined forces with Americans for Responsible Solutions, the political organization founded by former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, to form a legal, federal, political, and state-based powerhouse. Our work depends on building wide, sometimes unlikely coalitions - working with everyone from frontline violence interrupters to moderate Republicans and gun owners.
Today, GIFFORDS addresses a crisis of epidemic proportions. With nearly 47,000 Americans dying from gun violence every year, this is a uniquely American problem that costs our economy an estimated $557 billion annually. But we know this cycle of violence is preventable. We fight for evidence-based solutions, including universal background checks, Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and community violence intervention programs. We implement solutions that save lives - and it's working.
Built on a foundation of legal expertise and bold leadership, GIFFORDS stands as a courageous force for change. For more information, visit www.GIFFORDS.org.
