SumOfUs Campaign Director job description
SumOfUs Campaign Director job description
see http://www.sumofus.org/home/campaign-director-job-description
SumOfUs is a new global grassroots movement for corporate accountability. We harness new technologies to mobilize consumers, small investors, and workers around the world to challenge corporate power and demand sustainable and responsible business practices. We work to hold corporations accountable across a broad range of issues – from corruption to climate, from unethical marketing to CEO pay. Our team may be tiny, but we think big: We will push global pharmaceutical companies to make HIV/AIDS drugs more affordable and accessible in developing countries; we will make sure European consumers know when companies they frequent donate to Sarah Palin; we will organize mortgage-holders to fight against predatory lending and foreclosures.
We plan to launch soon and are seeking a full-time Campaign Director starting as soon as possible, initially for a short-term (3-6 month) contract but with the hope and expectation that the end result will be a permanent position. The position can be based anywhere in the world, contingent on fast and reliable internet access.
Let’s be clear: this is a start-up environment, and you will be only the second full-time employee – so you’re going to be doing everything from fundraising to campaign development to getting banners printed at 10:30pm at the only open print shop in Johannesburg the night before a stunt. We work out of living rooms and coffee shops and we roll with the punches. If you crave security and routine, this is not the role for you.
But if you’ve got experience taking on multinational corporations with a few thousand dollars, a Twitter account and a gorilla suit; if you know how to find a company’s financial and PR weak spots and get inside the CEO’s head; if you’re deeply frustrated with corporate capture of democracy; if you want a chance to be part of something world-changing right from the beginning – you could be the perfect candidate.
We need someone who:
– Has experience running market campaigns and/or working closely with decision-makers at multinational corporations in a business/PR context;
– Is voraciously multi-talented and willing to learn and do anything to see the job through;
– Is dedicated to building a fairer and more sustainable global economy;
– Is familiar with the MoveOn/Avaaz model of organizing;
– Is an excellent writer and communicator;
– Is a globally-minded movement-builder;
– Has demonstrated people & project management skills;
– Is comfortable with new technology and social media;
– Can travel internationally on a fairly regular basis;
– Can provide your own laptop;
– Is fluent in English.
Big pluses include (we expect the successful candidate to have at least a few of these):
– Proficiency in major world languages other than English;
– Experience living in multiple regions of the world;
– Deep understanding of the global financial system;
– Experience working for a large corporation;
– Experience in online campaigning, especially writing email action alerts;
– Advanced tech & design skills (eg, CSS, SQL, video editing) and/or the ability to manage developers;
– Media pitching experience and/or relationships with political or business journalists (especially in Europe & the US);
– Fundraising experience and/or relationships with potential individual donors or foundations
– Experience working in or closely with the labor movement;
– Relationships in the socially responsible investment community;
– Familiarity with corporate, libel, human rights, labor, and/or international law.
Applications will be processed on a rolling basis. To apply, email taren (at) sumofus.org with:
– An introductory email/cover letter in the body of the email. Remember, a big part of your job is going to be writing emails to persuade people to do things. So, you should be able to write a good email persuading us to hire you! And don’t be afraid to get creative about it.
– Your resume attached.
– The catchiest subject line you can think of, with “(Campaign Director Applicant)” at the end [eg: “Some of us like SumOfUs (Campaign Director Applicant)”].
We have no formal education requirements – we believe university is just one campus in the school of life. We expect to hire someone with 5-15 years of professional experience for the Campaign Director position, but are open to expressions of interest from others (and we may keep your resume on file for future positions). Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
SumOfUs is an equal opportunity employer. It is the policy of SumOfUs to provide equal employment opportunity to all applicants for employment and employees and not to discriminate because of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression. Equal employment opportunities will be provided in employment, recruitment, selection, compensation, benefits, promotion, demotion, layoff, termination and all other terms and conditions of employment. Minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply for this position.
TO APPLY, PLEASE EMAIL TAREN, taren@sumofus.org.

MAYOR BOOKER LAUNCHES FIRE PREVENTION MONTH
For Immediate Release
MAYOR BOOKER LAUNCHES FIRE PREVENTION MONTH
Protect Your Family From Fire ― Theme for 2011
Newark Fire Department will host R20;Firehouse Community Days
to connect residents with firefighters and teach them about fire safety
Newark, NJ September 29, 2011 R11; Mayor Cory A. Booker Fire Director Fateen A. Ziyad, Fire Chief John G. Centanni, and members of the Newark Fire Department announced yesterday the kick-off of the City of NewarkR17;s Fire Prevention Month with a ceremony held at Engine 7 Company Headquarters, located at 241 West Market Street. Battalion Chief Raul Malave, who heads the Newark Fire DepartmentR17;s Community Relations Division served as Master of Ceremonies. Also participating in the kick-off ceremony were students from University Heights Charter School and Sparky the Fire Dog. The theme for 2011 Fire Prevention Month is R20;Protect Your Family From Fire.
The highlight of this year’s Fire Prevention Month will be the launch of R20;Firehouse Community Days. Starting on Saturday, October 1, and every consecutive Saturday until the end of the month, one fire house per week in each ward will host a R20;Firehouse Community Day. The selected firehouses will be open to the public from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Fire officials, firefighters, and experts will be on-hand during the R20;Firehouse Community Days to meet and greet with residents, give them tours of the firehouse, demonstrate the use of a fire hose and extinguisher and provide fire safety and prevention tips. A limited number of smoke detectors will also be given out to residents on a first-come, first-serve basis. Firehouse Community DaysR21; are part of the Newark Fire Department’s Community Relations Initiative to build a stronger working relationship with residents to ensure that everyone has a safe Fall season. A list of participating firehouses and dates are given below.
Fire Prevention Month is about everybody. We’re so proud the students and teachers of University Heights Charter School are joining us for today’s ceremony to observe this important initiative. We want our children to help us educate their parents and loved ones with fire safety tips. House fires are preventable if we take and put into action some basic safety tips, Mayor Booker said. R20;We have the largest fire department in the state and best equipped, with more mutual aid agreements than any other department. I am proud of our heroic firefighters.
During the event, Fire Director Ziyad also announced the kick-off of the Newark Fire Department’s Annual Fire Prevention Month Poster Contest with Newark Public Schools. The winners of this contest will be tentatively announced in late January or early February 2012.
R20;It is crucial that we encourage the importance of fire safety and keep our residents informed about the preventative measures that they can do to protect their homes, said Fire Director Ziyad. Fire Prevention Month will provide Newarkers with the information and the tools necessary to maintain a safe and secure environment for themselves and their families.
Chief Centanni said that the month will promote Five steps to fire safety at home: knowing your home’s floor plan; knowing two ways out; installing working smoke alarms; setting up a meeting place once outside; and holding home fire drills.
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to 384,000 residential fires nationwide, Chief Centanni said. R20;These fires killed 2,755 civilians, injured 15,420 civilians, and did $9.7 billion in property damage. One civilian died every two hours and 49 minutes. These statistics are tragic, and are easily avoidable, if residents take a few precautions in their homes.
Chief Centanni noted that cooking fires were the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries nationwide, accounting for 40 percent of reported home fires and 36 percent of related injuries. However, smoking materials, (cigarettes, cigars, and pipes) are the leading cause of fire deaths in the United States. R20;Improperly used space heaters, overloaded plugs, and defective wiring also account for many fires and resulting tragedies, Chief Centanni added.
However, Chief Centanni said, R20;Having a working smoke alarm in the home cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half. Equip your home with smoke alarms, and make sure they have fresh batteries.R21;
Fire Prevention Month is held in October in observance of two of the greatest fires in American history, which both took place the same day, October 9, 1871. That evening, the Great Chicago Fire broke out, which swept across three square miles of the CityR17;s downtown, destroying $192 million worth of property, leaving 100,000 residents homeless, and 300 dead. The same day, strong winds set off a blaze in the forests around Peshtigo, Wisconsin, which swept across 1,875 square miles, destroying 12 towns, and killing an estimated 2,500 people R11; the most destructive fire in American annals.
A comprehensive and enforced fire prevention strategy is the best way to reduce the loss of life due to fire. There are many examples of fire prevention measures, one of the most notable being the installation of smoke alarms. Roughly half of the home fire deaths result from fires in the small percentage of homes with no smoke alarms. Homes with smoke alarms R11; whether or not they are operational R11; typically have a death rate that is 40-50 percent less than the rate for homes without alarms. Due to the higher than average number of vacant and aging homes, Newark has a lower percentage of alarmed households than many other communities.
Also, as the third oldest city in the country, much of NewarkR17;s housing stock is aged. This includes housing blocks dating from the 1940s and 1950s, and older, wood-framed balloon construction houses for one to four families. Because of this, 90 percent of the housing units are likely to be contaminated with lead paint, a contributing factor to serious residential structure fires.
During this month, resident and property owners are urged to check the battery status of smoke detectors in their buildings, develop emergency evacuation plans for their homes and workspaces, install fire extinguishers and First Aid kids in each building and to teach children about fire safety.
The Newark Fire Department offers the following fire safety tips:
- · Inspect space heaters for wear and tear. Check their emergency shut-off features. Use only the recommended fuel.
- · Keep combustibles, children, and pets at least three feet from heat sources.
- · Strap water heaters to the wall, 18 inches off the floor: have gas shut-off in easy reach.
- · If your home has a furnace, have it inspected annually.
- · Store flammable liquids far from heat.
- · Oily rags can ignite without warning. Wash them in detergent and discard.
- · Install at least one smoke alarm on each level of your home.
- · Maintain smoke alarms with monthly testing and new batteries twice a year.
- · Have a licensed electrician check the houseR17;s wiring if lights flicker, fuses blow, or sparks fly from outlets or appliances.
- · Do not overload electrical outlets; check cords for plugs and wear.
- · Keep fire extinguishers labeled 2A-10BC in the kitchen and workroom, and near fireplaces.
- · Cook with the least effective heat; never leave cooking unattended.
- · Do not smoke in bed; install smoke alarms right outside sleeping areas.
- · Have chimneys inspected each year. Burn only dry wood or manufactured logs.
- · Avoid extension cords; never run them under rugs or where they may be pinched.
- · Carbon Monoxide Detectors should also be installed and tested.
Since 2006, the Newark Fire Department has opened new and renovated fire stations, and added new vehicles to its inventory. In 2008, the Department graduated the 39th Recruit Class of 18 recruits from the Fire Academy In October 2009, the Newark Fire Department unveiled its new 41-foot-long Hazmat and Heavy Rescue truck, which provides firefighters: with a wide array of state-of-the-art equipment, including a 9,000-pound winch, a 9,000-watt light tower, a Robotic Search Camera to investigate disasters areas difficult to access, and extrication tools for car crashes.
Over the past five years the Fire Department has also purchase: three new fire engines, two ladder trucks, and several support and utility units, reducing the average age of its vehicles to close to 50 percent. The Department also saw a restructuring that led to a 67 percent reduction in overtime, as well as the creation of the regionR17;s first Urban Search and Rescue Unit, as well as the employment of new technology, such as voice-amplified face pieces, a new CASCADE rehabilitation and tank filling apparatus, and a state-of-the-art Voice Alert System.
The Newark Fire Department also has a number of specialized units, including an Arson Unit, a Hazardous Materials Unit, a Fireboat, a Confined Space Rescue Team, a Foam Tanker, and a Cascade Unit, which responds to emergency scenes to fill air bottles. In addition, the Department is one of only nine in the State of New Jersey whose Metro Strike Team has a Collapse Unit, to deal with collapsed buildings. Most of the DepartmentR17;s specialized units are assigned for regional response, to assist neighboring communities that lack such equipment and training.

CITY OF NEWARK RECEIVES MORE THAN $6 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT TO RE-HIRE 25 POLICE OFFICERS
For Immediate Release
CITY OF NEWARK RECEIVES MORE THAN $6 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT TO RE-HIRE 25 POLICE OFFICERS
Newark one of 12 New Jersey municipalities to receive share of Community Oriented Police Services Grant money;
Newark, NJ R11; September 28, 2011; Mayor Cory A. Booker, Police Director Samuel A. DeMaio, and Police Chief Sheilah A. Coley announced today that the City of Newark is receiving a $6.028 million federal Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant to re-hire 25 police officers.
The grant was obtained through the efforts of U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg. Newark is one of 12 New Jersey municipalities to receive money through this overall $20.8 million grant. Camden will receive $3.7 million for 14 officers. Other municipalities receiving the grant money include Irvington, New Brunswick, Asbury Park, Buena Borough, Burlington, Little Egg Harbor, Long Branch, Millville, Vineland, and Westhampton.
R20;During these challenging economic times, we are excited to learn that Newark has been selected to receive the COPS grant. This federal grant will allow our Police Department to re-hire 25 police officers which will support our mission to create a safer city. We thank our federal advocates for their tireless work to secure these critically needed funds, said Mayor Booker.
This funding will help make sure we have police on the beat to keep Newark families safe from crime, said Senator Lautenberg, a member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science, which funds the COPS program. State and local budgets are stretched thin and this funding will help Newark put police officers back on the job. The COPS grant program is critical to ensuring that neighborhoods are secure and I will continue fighting to make sure it is funded in Washington.R21;
I’m very excited to re-hire 25 laid-off police officers, which will enhance our crime-reduction initiative,R21; said Director DeMaio. We will continue to find innovative ways to reduce crime in the City of Newark.
The City received its last COPS grant in 2003, a $2.7 million grant to enhance police and emergency response communications in the wake of 9/11.
Under the Booker Administration, the City of Newark has formed several new partnerships and launched numerous new initiatives and policing strategies. Since being created in 2006, the Newark Police Foundation has raised thousands of dollars in philanthropic donations to support the purchase and deployment of new crime-fighting technology, including the deployment of more than one hundred wireless video surveillance cameras, a sonic gunshot detection system, a new state-of-the-art emergency services vehicle, and the operation of the CityR17;s R20;Crime StopperR21; and R20;Gun StopperR21; anonymous tip lines.
More than 1,100 officers make up the Newark Police Department, making it the largest municipal department in the State of New Jersey. This fall, the Department is scheduled to open its new 5th Precinct in the South Ward, a state-of-the-art 75,000-square-foot facility that will include the CityR17;s Office of Emergency Management. The Department also received a $1 million grant earlier this year to provide for a specialized vehicle that can read license plates numbers.

For those who are interested, there is time allotted for informal fellowship afterwards. All WORD-shops will be held at Galilee Missionaary Baptist Church, 24 Lyons Avenue, Newark, NJ 07112 where the anointed Rev. Zan Ingalls is our pastor.
There is no set fee. We are looking to minister to those women who want to overcome these issues and walk in victory for Christ! We are simply requesting a freewill offering. However, we are asking that those who attend consider sowing a seed into this new ministry.
Inorder to get an approximate number of attendees, we are asking that women pre-register online at www.theplaceofsurrender.org and click on the tab for the Women’s Empowerment Series. Directions on how to pre-register are listed at the bottom of the page.
Even if you are unable to attend, please print this flyer out and post on your church’s announcement bulletin board or forward it to someone you believe may be interested in these WORD-shops.
May the Lord bless and keep you in all of your endeavors!
In His love,
Lady Liane Ingalls
