JOB OVERVIEW

**Seeking 3–4 Virtual Assistants for Prison-Focused Projects**

We’re looking for three or four organized, reliable assistants to support a range of prison-focused writing, research, advocacy, publishing, and outreach projects. Assistants may work across several projects, depending on their skills and interests.

Projects include:

- Researching how to obtain a TDCJ commissary contract for Black haircare products.
- Developing a plan to donate books rejected by prison mailrooms to domestic violence shelters.
- Researching costs, processes, potential partners, and advocacy steps for a 24-hour, in-cell su ---------- hotline button for people in solitary confinement.
- Supporting efforts to publish the children’s book *Mommy Snatchers* with Random House.
- Promoting *Ending Isolation* by arranging virtual appearances for its coauthors on podcasts, NPR, and with book clubs.
- Supporting a campaign to overturn Kwaneta Harris’s in-person media interview ban and telephone ban with reporters.
- Conducting general research for articles.
- Developing an animation showing Kwaneta’s writing process and the obstacles she faces.
- Supporting an anti-trafficking project, already underway with a renowned musician, about how the absence of fathers can increase young women’s vulnerability to trafficking.
- Researching and developing a voter registration campaign for incarcerated Texans, including verifying eligibility and helping people register before release.

We’re especially interested in people with strong research, writing, communications, outreach, project coordination, advocacy, or animation skills. Experience with prison-related issues is helpful. Please share a little about your background, relevant experience, and which projects interest you.

Details about hours, compensation, and assignments can be discussed with interested applicants.
