About UltraViolet
UltraViolet is a women-led gender justice organization, with an online community of more than 1.2 million members nationwide. UltraViolet is a multi-issue organization because the discrimination that women face is not singular in nature. Every day, we walk through the world and are forced to endure a variety of sexist policies, misogynistic attitudes, and violent behaviors that are often dismissed. We see this discrimination in the pink taxes that force us to pay more for everything from razors to reproductive health services; we see it in the gender pay gaps that become gender wealth gaps; we see it in the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions; and we see it in the ways that corporations profit from sexist hate speech and harassment online.

The UltraViolet community is multi-racial, multi-generational and gender-diverse because we are not monolithic.

ABOUT YOU

People-Centered Relationship Builder – You love engaging with all types of people. You’re just as comfortable talking to a Governor as you are a volunteer community member.

You thrive on getting to know people’s stories and helping people see each other’s perspectives.

Intersectional Environmentalist – You are passionate about protecting the environment. You see the intersection of water quality, land use, climate change, energy, and wildlife. You recognize and are excited that VCN’s partnership works on everything from public transportation access to oyster restoration; scaling our clean energy commitments to connecting wildlife corridors.

Comfortable with Conflict – You understand that many of the biggest environmental problems of our day come with conflict. You have experience addressing conflict head-on while bringing down the temperature of disagreements. You are a mediator that looks to solve big problems with action.

You’re able to step back and see future alignment and future gaps. You simultaneously focus on executing tried and true campaign tactics while not being afraid to try new things. You grow ideas at the speed of trust. You value organizing and have a keen political eye.

Mentor, Trainer & Recruiter – You know that the best leaders are those that build the strongest team.
