Internship, Reform Immigration FOR America
Campaign to Reform Immigration for America
Washington, DC
ORIGINAL JOB LISTING
About the Campaign: The campaign to Reform Immigration for America (RI4A) is a large coalition of local and national organizations that has come together to encourage Congress to pass comprehensive humane immigration reform. The campaign is working on multiple fronts -- generating policy recommendations, reaching potential supporters through a coordinated on- and offline field campaign, and raising issue visibility in the media.
A critical piece of the effort is building a large email and mobile list of supporters that can be mobilized on a moment's notice to support the passage of good immigration policies. The anti-immigration movement has been organizing their base for years, and recently mobilized over a million supporters to help pass damaging and inhumane anti-immigration policies. In order to win the passage of just and humane immigration reform, we must organize supporters in a coordinated way, both on and offline, to ensure that the progressive viewpoint is heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill.
Position overview: We are seeking 1-2 interns to start in mid-January. The ideal candidate will be a fast learner with a passion for furthering the cause of immigration reform. Previous experience working with coalitions and distributed teams successfully is a plus. The intern will report directly to the RI4A Online Communications Director. This position will be housed at the Center for Community Change offices on U Street in Washington, DC.

* Personally reply to constituents responding to our SMS and email messaging
