Are you comfortable at the intersection of politics, journalism, and tech?

Does your unique background give you special insight when examining power, policy, privilege and modern democracy? Are your high standards for fairness, thoroughness and citations a reflection of your respect for diverse views?

You are a voracious consumer of local politics, who cares deeply about how changes in their cities affect the community, and their personal life. For now, we are only looking for experts in New York City or San Francisco with a demonstrable knowledge of the local political scene and the ability to meet with local experts, politicians, journalists, and community members.

You should have solid previous experience in journalism, editing, and/or legislative writing. We need someone who is inherently curious — when you see a proposed piece of legislation, the first questions you ask are, “What problem or issue led to this bill’s introduction?” and “How will this change current law?” Accessibility experience preferred.

Do you care about:
Addressing the wide gaps in civic engagement across the country;
The lack of influence most people in the U.S. have in the political decision making process;
Holding elected officials accountable for their actions and to their constituents;
Transparency in government.

If you’re uncomfortable with fact checking, carefully proofreading your own work, and have a hard time meeting deadlines — this job is not for you. But if you’re excited to join a team of dedicated writers who are invested in making political processes across the country more transparent, we want to hear from you!

WE WANT DIVERSE VOICES

People with diverse life experiences and viewpoints are eagerly encouraged to apply. We need everyone to participate in order for our democracy to be strong and vibrant.
