SignOn.org Internship
Time and again, MoveOn.org has changed the face of politics in America by harnessing the power of the Internet and our 7 million members. And now we're changing the game again with an innovative new organizing platform called SignOn.org that gives everyday folks the tools to run their own MoveOn-style campaigns on the issues they care about most—everything from ending corporate personhood to keeping fracking out of local communities. And by connecting these local efforts to our members, we're making sure that even small start-up campaigns have the grassroots muscle they need to win.
As a SignOn.org intern, you'll work directly with the project's leaders and get excellent training. You'll never have to get us coffee, but you should be ready and willing to work hard to make the project's vision a reality.
