Free Press is working to create a world where people have the information and opportunities they need to tell their own stories, hold leaders accountable, and participate in our democracy. We focus on protecting free speech and press freedom, fighting hate and misinformation, achieving affordable internet access for all, advancing racial equity in our media system, holding media and tech companies accountable, protecting privacy and digital civil rights, and transforming local journalism.

Our team is a mix of committed organizers, campaigners, policy experts, digital communicators, administrators and fundraisers. We’re committed to recruiting and retaining creative, ethical, smart and innovative people with a sense of humor. We center racial justice in our work and seek new team members who share our values and approaches.

We offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits, including medical, vision and dental insurance; retirement benefits; health reimbursement, dependent care and commuter-expense accounts; and up-to-date IT systems that allow for flexible work locations. We think that employees do better work if they have time to rest and enjoy life with friends and families, so we offer a total of 10 weeks of paid time off each year.

People of color, women, people with disabilities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, transgender, gender-expansive and formerly incarcerated individuals are strongly encouraged to apply.
