Community Organizer

Working Families Party

2d • $23 - $23 • Remote

About The Position

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win. We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free. The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all. Are you passionate about building power for working families in your own community? Do you believe change happens when neighbors come together around shared struggles? The WFP Community Organizer role is a 9-month, hands-on training program designed to equip local leaders with the skills, strategy, and support to organize their communities and win tangible improvements for working people. This is not a desk job, it’s a field program. You will build a local volunteer team from the ground up, identify winnable local issues, and lead a campaign that delivers real results. Rooted in the belief that those closest to the problem are closest to the solution, we seek applicants who are embedded in their communities and ready to grow as organizers.
