Over thirty years ago, I left my job as an attorney and took a road less traveled in disability rights organizing that led me to found and lead Not Dead Yet. Now I’m looking for an assistant, a partner and hopefully a successor in the work to save our lives from the ableist attitude that we’re better off dead than disabled. If you might be that person, please read below and send a letter and resume to me at dcoleman@notdeadyet.org.
Assistant Director/Policy Analyst
The Assistant Director/ Policy Analyst works with the CEO of Not Dead Yet to implement NDY’s policy priorities at the state and national levels as they affect legislation, regulations, legal cases, and activities of government and health care providers in the areas of assisted suicide and euthanasia, withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment, futile care policies, access to health care for people with disabilities, crisis management protocols, etc. The AD/PA will also assist the CEO to implement NDY’s strategic plan/goals, especially focusing on intersection issues that affect women, children, elders, LGBTQIA folks, BIPoC, and multicultural communities. Finally, the AD/PA will collaborate with the CEO to achieve a smooth leadership transition. Salary starting at $60,000 for a full time equivalent. Staff work remotely. Hours and salary are negotiable and may permit for reduced hours at a proportionately reduced salary level.
