<b>The Opportunity</b><br>
<br>
Established in 2005, The <span>Boston</span> <span>Workers</span> <span>Alliance</span>
(BWA) is a 501(c)3 grassroots member-led organization of under-
and unemployed <span>workers</span>, united to end the
crisis of joblessness in <span>Boston</span>’s urban
communities of color. Through cooperation, political awareness,
organizing and the development of its members as social change
agents, BWA fervently challenges the political and economic
structures that oppose full civic participation and the potential
to live well. <br>
<br>
After seven successful years as Executive Director and Founder of
the <span>Boston</span> <span>Workers</span>
<span>Alliance</span>, Aaron Tanaka will officially
step down after a successor is selected. BWA is seeking a
progressive, experienced leader with a heart for social and
economic justice, organizing and community empowerment to succeed
Aaron. <br>
<br>
BWA has established itself as a dynamic member-driven initiative
against racism, CORI system (Criminal Order Record Information)
discrimination and the crisis of joblessness in <span>Boston</span>'s
communities of color. BWA drives economic development projects
and grassroots campaigns to win job opportunities for urban <span>workers</span> with barriers to employment.<br>
<br>
Currently in growth mode, BWA operates through four core program
areas including: (1) member organizing, (2) direct services, (3)
cooperative economic development, and (4) campaigns and coalition
building. Over 85% of BWA’s members are African American, and the
majority (70%) are adults between the ages of 25-50. <br>
