Job Announcement
Digital Campaigner and Circuit Rider
The six month Base Building in Crisis - A Covid Pilot Project will identify constituencies and institutions impacted by Covid and test innovative organizing efforts to connect them to both short-term work developing and implementing equitable Covid response policies and longer-term advocacy work that will create a more democratic, equitable, racially just, healthy, and environmentally sustainable post-Covid world. In a set of states, we will explore how best to design and build the pilot project based on local conditions in order to achieve our primary project goals of 1) building a base, 2) connecting the base to short and longer-term advocacy work, and 3) identifying which organizing tools worked and why and determining if they can be successfully replicated.
Base Building in Crisis - A Covid Pilot Project is sponsored by the national racial and economic justice organization, Community Change, in partnership with Pilot Project Director Paul Getsos, former National Director of the Peoples Climate Movement.
