Galvanizing Jobs in Washington (NOW HIRING)

About Reproductive Freedom for All (Formerly NARAL Pro-Choice America)
For more than 55 years, Reproductive Freedom for All and its chapters have fought to protect and expand reproductive freedom -including access to abortion and contraception - for everybody. We are powered by our more than 4 million members from every state and congressional district in the country, representing the 8 in 10 Americans who believe every person should have the freedom to make the best decision for themselves about if, when, and how to raise a family.
Reproductive Freedom for All centers diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in our organization and our work. Continuously learning from our history, we hold ourselves accountable to achieve reproductive freedom with equitable access for everybody. As the oldest and largest national membership organization primarily focused on advocating for abortion access, we organize and mobilize, galvanizing millions of people to take action to defend reproductive freedom, and shining a spotlight of accountability on bad actors who work to impose their ideological agenda on others. We also work to elect champions for reproductive freedom and advance state and federal legislation to safeguard it. For more information on Reproductive Freedom for All, please visit our website.

• Track organizing and outreach efforts in project management tools, including VAN;
• Attend in-person campaign events in Virginia;
• Attend potential rapid response moments in Washington, DC on Capitol Hill or at the US Supreme Court.

In this internship, you will learn:

• A deeper understanding of the reproductive freedom movement, current policies, and effective organizing and advocacy techniques;
• Key grassroots organizing tactics essential to mobilizing communities, including pitching volunteer opportunities, recruitment, phone banking, and one-on-one meetings with emerging leaders;
• Skills in working with and training volunteers, as well as organizing impactful advocacy events;
• Experience in planning and managing projects within a political organization;
