Social Justice/culture Newsletter Writer/editor 🔥


About YOU

  • Are you someone passionate about issues of justice in America?  
  • Are you willing to pose important questions to think about and rely on your wit and charm to present divisive topics in new and refreshing ways? 
  • Do you think and write about the ways cultural, structural (and sometimes legal) forms of biases are encoded in our institutions, language, and ways of interacting?  
  • Do you believe that it will take dialogue, great will, and coordinated action to make the necessary changes to create a more fair and equitable system in America?  

 About Rabble

At Rabble, we believe that the lived experience of injustice needs to be shared to a broader audience.  

Rabble is building the next-generation media and community-building platform for Generation Participation.  We are focused on solutions and coalition-building, so if strange bedfellows, weird mash-ups, and uncommon alliances feel like a breath of fresh air and you want to educate, engage, and shine a light on the people and everyday, commonplace interactions that can change our communities.  Because if you don’t participate in your community, neighborhoods, or local politics, you won’t get the world that you want. 

Our platform (launching Q2 2021) drives people into a personalized online experience powered by activists and tech that will help people become more involved in their communities with local news, learning content, conversations, and actions.  

THE GIG

Our thrice-weekly newsletter also helps our community align its time, money, and attention to the things that matter most.  Our audience is young activists of color making change today.  We are looking for a social justice writer/editor.  This entails:

  1. A weekly newsletter of 3-5 top stories (700-1000 words) plus cultural recommendations and recommended reading tips.
  2. Twice-monthly, a deeper dive newsletter (900-1200 words) on intersectional issues around justice, climate crisis, and pop culture.

YOU WILL

  • Cultivate the credibility of Rabble to tell stories and report from diverse perspectives
  • Curate content from reputable sources that tell an interesting part or whole of the story
  • Have the passion, intellectual curiosity, and investigative drive to find the people, stories, and information that the public needs to hear, particularly as it relates to issues of inequality including racism, discrimination, wage inequalities, intolerance, climate change, local journalism in purple states (independent thinking, not just partisan rhetoric), pop culture/internet culture, health including drugs, technology addiction, mental health, debt, unemployment/cost of living, food scarcity, and participatory (not only progressive) politics
  • Have the ability to know the right mix of lifestyle, humor, and tone to make sure we’re inspiring and informing, always trafficking in the appropriate amount of awe, fear, but never hate.  
  • Be collaborative
  • Be thorough in executing on the details of the editorial process
  • Brainstorm with marketing to create POV to help build audiences
  • Help grow our featured influencer pool

THE COMPANY

Rabble is a media and AI-enabled company that offers personalized recommendations of learning, news, events, and experiences that helps people do something about the news.

We believe that today’s ecosystem of media publishers, big tech, and outdated modes of representation is leaving consumers and citizens feeling exhausted and lonely.  By helping people focus on the content that matters, understanding what they value, and providing personalized recommendations of news topics, group conversation, and memberships-based organizations to join, we believe we can help people develop their sense of purpose and do something about the news.  

Through Rabble, people can learn more about the causes they care about, meet others, form goal-based groups, and work together to make local impact.  When people participate, they get what they need.  When people do it together, they get what they want for themselves and their communities.  

Rabble helps people align their time, money, and attention with their values to make change they can see in their local communities.  We offer free and premium newsletters as well as personalized guides, groups, and AMAs to help navigate one’s own personal civic journey.  

 

COMP

Rabble is in pre-seed stage.  Comp is cash, but we are looking only for those who believe in the mission.  Let’s also discuss some ad spend cross-promotion for your own channels.
