This is Jobs That Are Left. It's awful to see the Peter G. Peterson Foundation trying to recruit people in this forum.
Also worth noting to for any would-be applicants, working to help the Peterson Foundation cut Social Security and Medicare benefits so we can keep taxes low on billionaires is a sure way to demonstrate to many future employers that you are not at a good fit for employment at progressive movement organizations.
I understand this is not a forum for a policy debate, but I believe not saying anything in the face of this drek would be as political action an action as saying something.
I also thought it merited saying something not only because the policy is terrible, but also because I know of no conception of what it means to be politically "left" within a democracy that accepts that the voice of one billionaire ought to count more than the voices of millions of everyday people.
Helping a billionaire spread misinformation and foment fear to convince political elites to attack poor people and dismantle the social safety net means participating in a power dynamic that at its base is anti-democratic and corrupt. In my book, that's a quantum level worse than simply pushing for bad policies.

*Texas Organizing Project is hiring: Immigration Campaign Organizer*
Here at the Texas Organizing Project (TOP), we organize to improve the
lives of low and moderate income families of color in the second largest
State in the Union. While Texas is the fastest growing State with more and
more families moving here, we are alarmed by the fast growing poverty rate,
lack of access to quality health care and education for many Texas
families, and the huge rise in income and racial inequality. We are proud
to say that TOP has a proven track record of running campaigns that address
these issues and believe that we must build power through community
organizing, partnering with other progressive organizations and labor
unions, and civic engagement to make systemic change.

in Texas.
