[jobsthatareLEFT by GAIN] Take On Wall Street Popular Education Coordinator | Americans for Financial Reform | Washington, DC

The Take On Wall Street campaign came together to build a financial system for white, black, and brown working families, not big Wall Street banks. In the spring of 2016, over 50 groups decided to work together to envision a better financial system, train activists, cultivate champions, and fight for policy change to address the predatory economic power of big Wall Street banks and billionaires, and build a financial system for all of us. Take On Wall Street is hosted by Americans for Financial Reform (AFR).

  • Work with coalition partners to develop, maintain and share campaign resources necessary to succeed in our collective advocacy.

  • Minimum of 3 years organizing and/or advocacy experience, ideally in coalition

  • Group facilitation and/or training experience
