WHO WE ARE: Founded in 1966, CRLA’s mission is to fight for justice and individual rights alongside the most exploited communities of our society. California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc. offers legal services that defend the rights of the rural poor and change the unjust systems that oppress them. Our advocates believe that rural communities can thrive and that the justice system can be worked to the advantage of people who reject poverty and discrimination. The work we advance spans an impressive gamut of venues and stands on a bold legacy of success and a vision for the prosperity of our clients. The Community Equity Initiative (CEI) program addresses environmental justice issues in some of California’s most underinvested communities.
Position Description:
CEI utilizes a community lawyering model to address environmental justice issues in disadvantaged communities. The model calls for creative, innovative advocacy that uses a multipronged approach to address the issues and their systemic roots. Approaches such as community leadership development and advocacy around policies are as important to the work as traditional legal advocacy. The CEI Managing Attorney should have a demonstrated interest in community lawyering and skills to lead and develop creative CEI teams in the area.
The CEI program covers a wide array of legal areas ranging from access to services such as water and broadband to the inequitable distribution of resources and siting of hazardous land uses. CEI’s client communities are Disadvantaged Unincorporated Communities (DUCs) that suffer the consequences of historic underinvestment and discriminatory policies. They bear the burden of unjust and inequitable conditions and decisions.
The CEI Managing Attorney will work with the Legal Program Director and staff to develop and implement creative advocacy strategies to address community-identified environmental justice issues in the Fresno region, and will assist in managing the Staff Attorney and Community worker teams in the Fresno and Tulare offices. Primary responsibilities include legal advocacy/litigation, collaboration with partners and government agencies, community leadership development, analysis of pending policies, and supervision of staff.
