About the Working Families Party
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.
Through our bulk purchasing and unique partnerships, this program offers access to do-it-yourself (DIY) campaign tools and full-service packages to run successful voter contact programs. The Campaign Services Coordinator role is responsible for growing and facilitating the Campaign Services program. Most of this position’s time will be spent working to deliver high-quality and cost-effective campaign services to internal WFP campaigns, external candidates, and partner organizations.
Where legally compliant, the position will also work with our endorsed campaigns and candidates to provide support and technical assistance on general campaign management including targeting, messaging, and volunteer recruitment.
The person should have an entrepreneurial mind-set that is coupled with a deep commitment to racial, economic, and social justice within an anti-oppression framework.
