Who is Democracy in Colour?

Democracy in Colour is a national racial and economic justice organisation led by people of colour. We are run by volunteers who make campaigns that tackle structural racism, empower people of colour to shape policy discussions that affect our lives and build the capacity in our communities.

• Receive mentoring by leading campaigners of colour: matched to your skills and need
• Build a best-in-class digital and grassroots organising platform that empowers people of colour to win the big fights that matter to them.
• Reshape the way advocacy campaigns engage communities of colour - less victim narratives and saviour complexes, and more agency and leadership from affected communities.

What does our digital team work on?

From Marriage Equality to religious rights or fairer employment laws, our digital team play a critical role in communicating our mission, inspiring our members to take action, capitalising on key moments, and managing our social, email, web, mobile and data programs.

We're looking for people with ...

• Deep passion for racial justice and a world where the inherent worth and dignity of everyone is recognised
• Understanding of racial justice theory and the politics around race/racism in Australia
• Are an independent and self-starting with a resilient, solutions focussed approach and an open mind
