This role lives at the intersection of communications, advocacy, and community building. Social media is vital to our organization's and our movement's success.

About the Indivisible Project
We're building something new. We're a progressive grassroots organization that began in the aftermath of Trump's election and rapidly scaled nationwide, with thousands of volunteer-led local groups covering every state in the country. To support this movement, we've built an incredible team at the national level. We dream big, we support each other, and we have fun doing it.
We're changing what's politically possible. Indivisible is part of the powerful progressive movement reaction to Trump, fighting the racist, misogynistic, plutocratic, and authoritarian agenda trumpeted by Trump and the GOP congress. Don't take our word for it; Indivisible has been featured on the Rachel Maddow show multiple times, as well as in the New York Times and in pretty much every other major news outlet in the country.
We're building together. We're building a new organization every day - a rare opportunity to model what we want to see in the world. We're deeply committed to equity and building a diverse and inclusive organization.
We're looking for you. If you want to fight for the soul of American democracy, there's no better place to be than Indivisible. We're looking for more team members who are passionate about resisting the Trump agenda and committed to getting results. It's an exciting, fulfilling place if you're someone who wants to fight fiercely for the progressive world we want to have.
Every one of us on the national team is here because we believe this movement is the best way to retake and build progressive power in this country. Does that ring true for you? If so, great - throw your hat in the ring to join our team. Let's start #winning together.
