Are you passionate about social justice, research, and writing, and are you comfortable in the digital world? We need you!


Courage California is hiring a six-month Voter Guide Research & Writing Temporary Contractor to join our team. Courage California is the largest progressive advocacy group in the state, holding our representatives accountable to equity and justice. 


THE PROJECT: With so many decisions to make on down-ballot contests and the rise of disinformation, trusted guidance can be hard for voters to find. This is particularly true for down-ballot races such as local ballot measures, municipal candidates, and judges. Courage California creates a unique Voter Guide for California that aggregates recommendations from a diverse array of progressive organizations, and works with partners to get this mobile-friendly guide to as many voters as possible.

 

THE CANDIDATE: Our ideal candidate will have a deep interest in, and knowledge of, California politics, love to do research and write, take initiative, pay attention to detail, and thrive working independently and on deadline.

THE JOB:The Voter Guide Research and Writing Contractor will focus on research and writing for Courage California’s full ballot 2022 Voter Guide, and report directly to Courage California’s Director of Voter Engagement and Technology. This is a temporary position, and the work will include: 

 

●     Researching candidates and ballot measures to appear on the 2022 ballot in California as assigned

●     Making recommendations to the directors team regarding Courage’s positions on candidates and ballot measures

●     Writing high level, politically astute summaries of each candidate and ballot measure

●      Researching voting procedures and processes in counties across the state

●     Assist with site content population

●     Compile partner organization endorsements, as assigned

●     Other duties as assigned

MUST HAVES: 

●      Passion for progressive politics and social justice, dedication to fighting for social change, and interest in a broad set of issues. 

●      Dedication to increasing voter access to information. 

●      Solid research, writing, and communication skills. 

●      Strong work ethic and a marked ability to produce work independently. 

●      Tech-savvy and skilled with search engines, social media platforms, Google docs, spreadsheets, and navigating the Internet.

●      Reliable internet access. 

●      Experience in California politics, electoral campaigns, and community organizing/advocacy is a plus! 

 

LOCATION:Knowledge of California and/or California’s political landscape is preferred. Courage is a "virtual office," so working from home or another independent environment is a necessity.
