About the Role
Edit videos. Help animals. Get paid.
Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is a global network of activists working to achieve revolutionary social and political change for animals within one generation. We are based in Berkeley, California.
We are looking for a motivated freelance video editor to help bring the issue of animal rights to new audiences on social media.

This is a freelance, pay-per-video position. Following a successful trial period in which you edit one complete video for DxE’s channels, you will be paid for the trial video if it is published.
You choose when, where, and how you work. The only expectation is that videos are delivered according to an agreed publishing schedule.
