Dear GAIN Power,
Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim community friends!
Our first 2023 virtual career fair is next week on March 29th! Employers and progressive talent get to meet and network online in a unique and efficient way. Below is a bit more information, or visit this link to register for both employers and talent, which can be found on that page. We're excited about the registration already of both employers and talent - but we're still recruiting more. We'd certainly appreciate it if you willing to spread the word about it. This is a social media kit we made for the event - please share it!
The late deadline for submitting nominations for the Powerful IDEA Awards passed - but we'll let a few more sneak in while we review nominations. We're excited to start sharing all nominations. We love to see the community of talented people celebrated, hard work honored, and impact recognized. Next week we'll be sharing more information about the awards event and program, so stay tuned for that.
In the past month, we welcomed 75 new employers to our career center and have seen many more employers post new positions. The career center remains the best way to get all the job posts. You can also create job alerts tailored to your specific interests. Jobs That Are Left Google Group is up after Google took it down for over a month. During that time, we set up a new Jobs That Are Left Substack and started sharing there. So now our jobs are in three places, plus we share some on our social channels. The three platforms have unique benefits for viewing posts. We're still experimenting with how we best share on these platforms so they are perfectly syncing in the same way. We'll share more about this process soon and collect your feedback too. We want to make sure we're getting you posts in the best ways possible. We also want to make them easy to share and forward to a wider community. Your thoughts and feedback are always appreciated.
For now sending our gratitude out to this amazing community.
In solidarity, — Amy & the GAIN Power Team |

| National eyes are all on Wisconsin right now and for good reason. There is a real chance to flip the State Supreme court and the race to do so is critical for our democracy at large. We're happy to share a big push by the WI Democratic party to raise money around for this important battle. If you haven't given this campaign this link is one you can use to do so now. There are many opportunities to volunteer as well. This link is for the DNC opportunities. | |

Featured Political Pages |
We would love to see more progressive firms and organizations join our political pages. |
| Born out of a tragic school shooting, March For Our Lives (MFOL) is a courageous youth-led movement dedicated to promoting civic engagement, education, and direct action by youth to eliminate the epidemic of gun violence. In 2018, the March For Our Lives was the single largest youth-led protest since the Vietnam War with 1.2 million people convening in DC and 800 sibling marches across the world. MFOL turned a moment into a movement of hundreds of thousands of young people fighting for common sense gun safety reform. | |

Jobs That Are Left UpdateJobs That Are Left Substack We've moved our long-time google group posts, Jobs That Are Left, here to Substack. We post jobs from the GAIN Power Career Center, events, and occasional other announcements. jobsthatareleft.substack.com
If you are a job seeker, we encourage you to sign up for job alerts, which can email you jobs as they happen, or in digest, and limit your email alerts to jobs that fit within certain search parameters. And if you are an employer, we encourage you to post your jobs so they are shared with the entirety of the progressive community. This should help you attract diverse applicants of all sorts or personal and professional backgrounds. |
