Reclaim Democracy! works to expand voting rights, build an inclusive democracy, and shrink the power of money and corporations over government and civic society. After years of all-volunteer operation, we seek a person to help with research, update durable resources on our website, and to create original articles (mostly researched commentary). You’ll receive editing assistance from nationally-published writers and, if successful, proceed to craft commentaries for outside publications.
Strong research, typing, and persuasive writing skills are essential. Knowledge of organizing, voting rights, corporate power/accountability, and racial justice is desirable.
Most research and writing can be performed at home on your schedule, with an occasional meeting. Starting pay is $18 – $24/hr. and will increase after two months. A range of 10-40 hours per month is offered initially. A strong performer willing to engage in fundraising activities can expand their role (we are a 501c3 nonprofit).
Our articles typically connect to current events in ways that advance these core objectives:
- Help build a movement to thwart voter suppression, schemes to block direct democracy, and otherwise prevent progress toward a more representative representative multi-racial democracy. We promote a constitutional right to vote as a vehicle to focus energy proactively
- Eroding the power of corporations and limiting them to business activities
- Revoking the Court-created precedents that equate money with speech and bestow constitutional rights upon corporations
- Defending human rights from racism, fascism, corporate exploitation, and other threats
The position is available immediately and, though our writing is typically for a national audience, we prefer to a relationship with a person here in Chittenden County (VT).
Please send a brief note of interest and link (web page or a Google Doc) 2-3 persuasive writing samples to: info@ReclaimDemocracy.org. If you have other skills you’d like us to know about, please share! We’ll respond within three business days.
