Food & Water Watch is Hiring a Media Relations Coordinator Near Pittsburgh, PA
Food & Water Watch is seeking a new media/public relations professional to join our Communications team to help implement creative, ambitious media relations plans that support our policy, research and organizing initiatives in a number of Eastern U.S. states to protect our food, water and climate. In the last few years, Food & Water Watch, through our Municipal Ordinance Project, has passed over 30 measures protecting communities from fracking in Western Pennsylvania and worked with communities fighting the petrochemical industry. We also passed a ban on fracking in all the county parks in Allegheny County. This Pittsburgh, PA-based position will help build on all this, working alongside our organizers to generate media coverage of our campaigns related to stopping oil and gas drilling and fracking, fighting the buildout of petrochemical/plastics production, halting oil and gas exports, and protecting clean water and safe food in communities through the region.
