The ACLU has announced a
fellowship program intended to further develop, strengthen and increase
the organization's programmatic work on racial justice issues. ACLU will
be awarding at least six fellowships to begin in the fall of 2003.
According to ACLU executives, the program provides for two sets of fellows
to serve terms of up to two years: At-Large Fellows, who will be based at
the ACLU's national offices in either New York or Washington, and who will
serve as a resource to the organization's affiliate offices and focus
primarily on developing new paradigms and remedies for the persistence of
skin color injustice; and Affiliate Sponsored Fellows, who will be based
at selected affiliate offices around the nation, and who will assist in
expanding the general effort to achieve racial justice in local
jurisdictions.
The fellowship is made
possible through $1.2 million in funding and is named after former ACLU
executive Ira Glasser, in recognition of his longstanding commitment to
issues of racial justice and equity. Glasser served for 23 years at the
organization's helm and retired in 2001.
The program seeks applicants
with a demonstrated commitment to racial justice from a wide variety of
disciplines, including lawyers, journalists, social scientists and
community organizers. Visit http://www.aclu.org/Jobs/Jobs.cfm?ID=12237c=215
