🎨 Freelance Graphic Designer Needed – Membership Card for the Union of Southern Service Workers

Budget: $400 | Deadline: June 30, 2025

The Union of Southern Service Workers (USSW) is looking for a talented and mission-aligned graphic designer to create a print-ready membership card (standard credit card size, 3.375" x 2.125") that reflects the strength, pride, and solidarity of our growing membership base.

About USSW:
We’re a grassroots union organizing low-wage workers across the South—from fast food to retail to warehouse jobs. We believe all work has dignity, and we’re building a movement rooted in justice, equity, and worker power. Learn more about us @RaiseUptheSouth and www.ussw.org. 

Project Overview:
We need a clean, professional, and bold membership card design (front and back) that’s visually striking and easy to read, while remaining true to our branding and values. Final deliverables will include:

• 3 initial design concepts
  

• Print-ready files (PDF or similar format)
  

• Editable source files (AI or PSD)
  

Timeline:

• June 3: Project kickoff & design brief
  

• June 10: Initial concepts due
  

• June 17: First round of feedback
  

• June 24: Final design approval
  

• June 30: Delivery of final assets
  

Compensation:
Flat fee of $400 for the completed project, paid upon delivery of final files.

Future Opportunities:
If this project goes well, there is additional paid graphic design work available (e.g., flyers, posters, digital graphics) for ongoing organizing campaigns.

To Apply:
Please email a short note and link (or PDF) of your design portfolio to dig...@ussw.org with “Application: Membership Card Design” as the subject line.

Applications accepted until June 1st.

We strongly encourage designers from the South, BIPOC designers, and those with experience working on labor, justice, or grassroots campaigns to apply.
