Director of the North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium, Durham, NC, USA.
The North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium currently seeks a Director to manage and direct the coalition’s advocacy campaign.
The North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium is a partnership of
organizations and individuals across the state that supports reforms to
our capital punishment system. Innocent people have been sentenced to
death in North Carolina. Until substantial reforms are enacted and
implemented, we will continue to run the risk of wrongfully convicting
and executing innocent people. The current suspension of executions
should be sustained until we eliminate the risk of wrongful convictions
and executions.
The campaign is non‐partisan and membership includes both Democrats
and Republicans. Members include attorneys, politicians, faith
communities, non‐profit organizations dedicated to criminal justice
reform, victim's rights, restorative justice, et al.
Over the past several years, the NCCM has grown significantly in
strength and stature. Recent victories including banning the death
penalty for people with mental retardation, the creation and
implementation of Indigent Defense Services, the enactment of open file
discovery laws and, most recently, the passage of the NC Racial Justice
Act, have moved North Carolina to the forefront of capital punishment
reform in them U.S. The growth and energy of the coalition have fueled
our current effort to ban the death penalty for persons with severe
mental illness.
To that end, the North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium currently seeks a Director to manage and direct the coalition’s advocacy campaign. This is a full‐time position with benefits. The Director is accountable to the Executive Committee of the coalition and is responsible for supervising the staff of the North Carolina Coalition for a Moratorium.
