Digital Coordinator - Deeds Not Words
(Location - Austin, TX)
Our Organization
Deeds Not Words was founded by former Texas State Senator Wendy Davis to provide young women with the tools and training needed to make change today while learning important portable skills to become our leaders of tomorrow. Working at 19 high school and college chapters across Texas, we train young women in critical thinking and analysis; public speaking; effective persuasion and organizing. Our chapters engage directly in advocacy at the state and local level - testifying before school boards, city councils and the state legislature on an agenda driven by the desire to create a more gender-equitable world. Our chapters are also actively engaged in voter registration and turnout. And we’ll be working to help them create a youth-run PAC and voter guide for the upcoming 2020 election cycle, including teaching them fundraising skills to help sustain their chapters and fund their PAC support for values aligned candidates.
