About the Internships
Movement Labs is seeking Spring 2021 interns to help implement our text bank campaigns and provide support for special projects. We are seeking interns in the following areas:
- Communications – social media, website, etc.
- Operations – texting campaigns, administration, etc.
- Volunteer management – support, research, troubleshooting, etc.
- Business development and marketing – reporting, sales, research, etc.
- Data and technology – data management, queries, SQL, etc.
Additional interns are needed to join our Contest Every Race (CER) research team. CER is an organization managed by Movement Labs that uses peer-to-peer texting to recruit progressives to run for office, specifically in traditionally-uncontested local races.
CER is seeking late winter and spring interns who will help with our research efforts and offer support to our candidate recruits. You will be identifying Republican incumbents and filing requirements in down-ballot races as part of our statewide initiatives to recruit progressive candidates. You will work with a team of volunteers who search online and make hundreds of phone calls to county and municipal election officials, learn which races are up for election and to check who has filed to run. This role is a great way to make a real difference in American politics from anywhere in the US.
