Job Announcement: Digital Circuit Rider

The six month United Today, Stronger Tomorrow - Communities Respond to Covid 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.
