Change the System, Not the Climate - Starting in Syracuse!
The Syracuse Green Party is looking for interns to assist with the Howie Hawkins for City Council campaign. Howie Hawkins is a lifelong activist, committed to agitating and organizing for peace and justice (you can read about Howie's background, from organizing to stop the Vietnam War to shutting down nuclear power plants to more recent initiatives like supporting local cooperative businesses on his Wikipedia page) The Green Party provides a friendly work environment and plenty of opportunities to take on responsibility and gain practical organizing experience.
Applicants should be motivated, politically savvy and comfortable working independently. Experience with social media, web design, graphics a plus. Activist experience and/or Green Party membership preferred but not required. Applicants should be familiar with the Green Party key values. (see gp.org) Internships are open to anyone looking to gain experience and be part of our growing party - students (high school, college), workers, community members. Internships are currently unpaid, but if sanctioned by your school, this internship is available for college credit.
Intern duties can include, but are not limited to: registering voters; participating in campaign outreach efforts; assisting with fundraising, event planning and communications; assisting with database management and data entry; website development and maintenance; designing campaign materials. Photography and videography skills strongly desirable!
