Contest Every Race Operations Associate
For too long, Republicans have been the only ones competing in local races, especially in rural areas. Contest Every Race is an unprecedented coalition of organizations working to transform this moment of crisis into long-term change. Our aim is to move local and national politics toward a democracy that works for everyone. By stopping the GOP from running up the score in rural areas, we'll start winning back state houses, governors' mansions, and the White House.
Our program uses peer-to-peer texting and a data-centric approach to recruit candidates for thousands of under-the-radar elected offices. We recruit candidates at scale through advanced texting campaigns, partnering with progressive organizations on the ground to ensure we are targeting the broadest sector of potential candidates and supporting candidates to run and win.
Contest Every Race is managed by Resistance Labs, the leading peer-to-peer text political consultancy supporting Democrats nationwide. Resistance Labs focuses on finding new ways to use technology to achieve tangible outcomes in areas like voter registration, candidate recruitment, and elections. We leverage technology and our army of passionate, remote volunteers to help progressives run and win everywhere and we were an important tool used in many of the critical wins of 2018's midterm elections.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As the Operations Associate for our Contest Every Race program, you will be at the center of a cutting-edge program to recruit Democrats to run for local office. You'll drive the day-to-day texting outreach, managing a team of volunteers as they text thousands of prospective candidates. You'll make sure prospects get the right messages, on schedule, so that they each have the resources and information they need to successfully step up and run. You're comfortable with detail-oriented work, love working with volunteers, and like to solve problems where you see them and help out where needed.
Work is remote. Resistance Labs prioritizes hiring progressives in rural and red areas as well as historically disadvantaged groups.
