🏢 About Beagle Freedom Project

Beagle Freedom Project is a unique organization that combines direct animal rescue with legislative advocacy and public education to end animal testing. Working here means joining a passionate team that has successfully passed laws to free lab animals and continues to push for systemic change.

About This Role

As the Campaigns, Programs & Advocacy Associate, you will lead the development and execution of advocacy campaigns to end animal testing, coordinating grassroots efforts, volunteer engagement, and legislative meetings. This role is impactful because you'll directly influence policy and mobilize public support to save animals from laboratories.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a team check-in via video call to discuss campaign progress, followed by drafting a legislative fact sheet or coordinating a volunteer phone bank. Afternoon could involve meeting with a state legislator's aide to discuss a bill, then analyzing campaign metrics to adjust outreach strategies.
