Requirements

Applicants must currently be enrolled in law school or a graduate program in public health, social work, public policy, or a related field, and applicants must demonstrate a passion for reproductive justice and a commitment to work for social justice and the ideals of the ACLU. The Legal-Policy Department accepts one to two Gender, Sexuality & Reproductive Justice Interns per term.

Responsibilities

The Gender, Sexuality & Reproductive Justice Intern will assist with projects to ensure that Californians have access to the services, information, and other supports they need to make decisions about intimate relationships and reproduction free from discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. Interns will have the opportunity to conduct research, draft materials, and otherwise work on various issues encompassed by our Gender, Sexuality, and Reproductive Justice Program. Interns will participate in staff meetings and strategy meetings with coalition partners as well as conduct legal and factual research and analysis, help author reports, draft advocacy materials, and assist with legislative or other local campaigns. Interns are encouraged to participate in monthly program meetings, where prospective litigation and policy strategies are discussed. At times, work may arise that gives interns the opportunity to work across the Department’s six broad program areas, including in the areas of Racial and Economic Justice, Criminal Justice, and Democracy & Civic Engagement.

Mission & Purpose

The ACLU is an non-profit, non-partisan organization of people who believe in the power of action. We are united by the quest – “We the people dare to create a more perfect union.” Whether in the courts, statehouses, Congress or communities, we fight to defend the rights that the Constitution guarantees to all of us —regardless of who we are, where we come from, whom we love, or what we believe. Together, we take up the toughest civil rights and liberties challenges of our time. We seek to inspire those who want change to become the ones who make change.
