Life-saving
antibiotics are too important to squander, but that is exactly what is
happening due to the overuse of these drugs. One of the biggest
culprits? Factory farms that routinely administer antibiotics to
livestock even when the animals are not sick.
We’re convincing major restaurant chains to buy meat from farms that do
not misuse antibiotics. It’s working, but we need change to happen
faster.
In joining our team, you will urge more restaurant chains to follow the
lead of Chipotle, Subway and others. You’ll push for policy changes at
the state and federal levels. And you’ll learn the skills of organizing
so that you can powerfully demonstrate support for smarter, healthier
antibiotic policies.
WHAT FELLOWS DO
Our Fellows don’t just sit behind a desk. We need people who are willing
to work hard to advocate for the public interest — whether it’s by
developing campaigns, building coalitions, mobilizing and organizing the
public, showcasing our work online and in the media, or making our case
directly to decision makers.
This is a two-year program, expressly designed to prepare future leaders within PIRG.
The powerful industries have their lobbyists. That’s why we need people
like you to ensure the public’s voice is heard, that decision makers do
the right thing, and to keep fighting to solve more of America’s
problems.
QUALIFICATIONS
We look for smarts, leadership experience, top-notch written and verbal
skills and an eagerness to learn. We value experience organizing,
including building campus groups.
