National Association of People's Movement
National Alliance of People’s Movements (NAPM) is an alliance of more than 250 grass root people’s struggles in India working on a range of issues related to socio – economic – political - justice and equity. Members affiliated with us are engaged in struggles around the issues of development, displacement, urban and rural planning, environmental concerns, human rights violations, livelihood rights, labour concerns, indiscriminate industrialization, corporate accountability, corruption, governance, electoral reforms and transparency. See list of organisations affiliated to NAPM here http://napm-india.org/node/898
All our work is carried out by a dedicated team of volunteers and interns who associate with us and contribute to the struggles for social justice in India.
What you can do?
NAPM is looking for people to volunteer for andolans and campaigns round the year. There is no limit to ways in which you can join and contribute. This could involve working on specific issues or campaigns. This could also mean contributing through your specific skill sets in your own time. For instance, you may choose to help out with daily logistics and documentation while experiencing NAPM. If you are more inclined towards research, you can support us through your fact finding work or focused reviews on specific issues. If you are artistic then possibly you would like to contribute by designing t-shirts, banners, posters or by producing interesting graffiti, etc. And if you would like to take a step further produce a movement pamphlet and advocate for various issues in public forums like colleges then by all means do that.
Why should you volunteer or intern with us?
While, this is a voluntary role, it will be an incredible way to enrich your world view by understanding different issues, developing skills on campaigning and political work, gaining experience on organizing and mobilizing people and exploring the potential of your own skills in this work. Not to mention the many exciting opportunities to interact and work with key activists in the country like Medha Patkar, Sandeep Pandey, Prafulla Samantara, Ulka Mahajan and many others across the country. You may decide to work at the Delhi Secretariat office, regional offices or from the comfort of your home.
We won't pay any honorarium, however, we try to cover all the work related expenses and also provide lunch at the office.
How to join us?
