About The Position

Brady has one powerful mission — to unite all Americans against gun violence. Each year, 40,000 people in the U.S. die from gun violence. We can change that. No organization has a more comprehensive and systematic approach to ending America’s gun violence epidemic. They say it can't be done. But we know Americans can do anything. Even end this epidemic of gun violence. For we are more powerful than any problem when we work as one. Now is the time to unite people, from coast to coast, young and old, liberal and conservative, fed up and fired up, and free our country from what is killing us. It's in our hands. Job Summary: The Organizing Intern will support the daily functions of the organizing team at Brady. The Organizing intern will assist all aspects of Brady’s grassroots organizing efforts, including interacting with chapter members, planning rallies and events, supporting Team ENOUGH efforts, and researching pending legislative priorities that need grassroots support. Working closely with the entire organizing team, the best candidate will be flexible, enthusiastic, and passionate about gun violence prevention.
