The *Reproductive Freedom Project* *(RFP)* of the ACLU’s National office 
in New York City seeks applicants for a*full-time Legal Administrative 
Assistant. *

*OVERVIEW*

The ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project’s mission is to secure a world 
that respects and supports everyone’s right to form intimate 
relationships and to decide whether and when to have a child.  Through 
litigation, advocacy, and public education, the Project strives to 
ensure that the freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by some become the 
freedoms and opportunities enjoyed by all.  The ACLU is particularly 
committed to ensuring that individuals’ reproductive rights are not 
compromised because of their race, youth, or economic status, and 
believes that reproductive rights work must be informed by broader 
racial and social justice considerations.

For more than three decades, the ACLU has participated in nearly every 
reproductive rights case before the Supreme Court and in significant 
cases in federal and state courts too numerous to count, including 
challenges to abortion bans; TRAP laws; bans on insurance coverage of 
abortion; and mandatory ultrasound and forced delay laws.  The ACLU is 
also a leader in the fight to prevent religion from being used as an 
excuse to deny reproductive health services and to discriminate against 
women and LGBT people.

The Reproductive Freedom Project is unique among reproductive rights 
organizations in that it works with the ACLU’s nationwide network of 
affiliates as well as other attorneys in the organization who specialize 
in other civil liberties areas, including free speech, racial justice, 
and LGBT rights.  In addition, the Reproductive Freedom Project is part 
of the ACLU’s Center for Liberty, which is dedicated to the principle 
that we are all entitled to determine the course of our lives based on 
who we are and what we believe free from unreasonable government 
constraint and baseless stereotypes.  The Center for Liberty encompasses 
the ACLU’s work on reproductive rights, women’s rights, LGBT issues, and 
freedom of religion and belief.

The Legal Administrative Assistant will work with three or more 
professional staff from the Reproductive Freedom Project.  S/he or he 
will attend regular staff meetings and will have the opportunity to 
learn about current threats to reproductive freedom interests, including 
reproductive rights, and the legal landscape for challenging them.
