About ERA
Equal Rights Advocates (ERA) is a 501(c)3 national nonprofit organization that fights for gender justice. For 50 years ERA has led the country in protecting and expanding economic and educational access and opportunities for women girls and gender-expansive people. Through litigation policy advocacy and public education our work advances gender racial and economic equity.
Project Overview
ERA is seeking a skilled Graphic Designer or Design Team to produce a suite of digital and print materials for our 52nd Annual Gala Luncheon which will take place in San Francisco in May 2026.

ERA will provide sizing requirements and will post the materials online when theyre complete. Social media content should include video versions of some designs which may consist of animating elements of existing designs.
- Print/Live Materials: In line with digital design themes Designer(s) will produce 2 program presentations that will be projected onto large screens before and during the event in addition to print materials. Print materials include 5 foamboard designs and a program booklet/pamphlet.
- Content Integration: Designer(s) should incorporate images/photos and text provided by ERA into digital and print deliverables such as speaker photos and written copy.
