30 19080 Writer/Researcher Contractor

Timeline: Temporary (Roughly 20 hours per week for 5 weeks – schedule is negotiable) 
Payment: $5,000 
Location: Remote 

Green America is a national, nonprofit, membership organization dedicated to creating a socially just and environmentally sustainable society by using economic strategies to help solve the many challenges facing our country and world. Green America's unique approach involves working with consumers, workers, businesses, investors, and supply chain stakeholders to build an economy that serves people and the planet.     
 

Background:  

Green America's labor program highlights labor abuses that affect workers throughout the world. We mobilize consumers to pressure businesses into adopting fair labor practices. We also help consumers find fair and sustainable shopping alternatives. The Toxic Textile campaign under the Labor Program specifically tackles industry-wide abuses that harm workers, the planet, and consumers. Building on our 2019 report and subsequent scorecard that focused on the toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing process, Green America successfully campaigned for companies such as Carter’s to adopt better chemical management practices.  
 

Description:  

Green America seeks a writer and researcher with a background in corporate sustainability, worker rights, and the fashion supply chain to collaborate on our 2023 Toxic Textile Report and scorecard which will expand our scope from toxic chemicals and build on the 2019 report to address the following questions: 

1. What are the top 3-5 most “toxic” aspects of the apparel industry? i.e. Chemicals, tannery, landfill/incinerator, labor abuse, etc. 

2. How does each toxic aspect impact workers, environment, and consumers? 

3. What advocacy tools are effectively being used, by whom? i.e. Accord, union contract, MRSL, Due Diligence, ESG, Social audits, etc. What tools do we need to advocate for each of the toxic aspects?  

4. Who and what do we need to make change? (Specifically breaking it down for consumers, investors, policy makers, workers orgs, and prefer using tools like infographic, scorecards, and other easy to digest graphics or 1-pagers) 

5. Which companies are leaders and laggards regarding the aspects/elements documented?  

The report will be approximately 20 pages long (including citations) and written for a general audience (including media and social media distribution). The scorecard would fit on one page and spotlight online retailers and athletic/athleisure brands. Both the report and scorecard will further our campaigns to get companies to improve their corporate social and environmental performance.
 

Process and Timeline: 

You will provide research and writing to Green America’s Labor Justice Campaigns Director who is overseeing research and development of the Toxic Textile campaign. The contractor will have an initial scope meeting to build on the existing outline for the report, as well as take part in weekly check-ins with the Labor Justice Campaigns Director to ensure the project is moving forward on schedule and that the contractor has the resources needed to advance the work. The work will begin in July and should be completed by September and your name will be listed as an author and researcher in the published report.  
 

To Apply:

Please send your resume and two published pieces in which you contributed writing and/or research to Jean Tong (she/they) at jtong@greenamerica.org by June 30, 2023.

We deploy marketplace solutions to solve the most pressing social and environmental problems facing society today.

The Center of Sustainability Solutions builds on Green America’s work over the years, where we’ve brought together industry groups across supply chains to create major shifts in such areas as solar, banking and investing, sustainable agriculture and fair labor. The Center supports Innovation Networks, focused working groups of stakeholders with the objective of making significant, industry-wide system change.

The Climate Safe Lending Network (CSL) is a multi-organization, multi-stakeholder collaborative working to align bank lending with climate safe scenarios. CSL supports lending institutions to collaborate with each other and wider parts of the financial system – including investors, clients, regulators, policy makers, academics and civil society organizations – to align bank lending with climate safe scenarios that contain emissions to a 1.5ºC temperature increase and incorporate strategies for a socially equitable and just transition.   

This is a new position on the CSL Network team.

This initiative influences financial policies to help meet the network’s goal of aligning bank lending with the Paris Agreement.
