Content Manager for WiseCourage
PARTIME (10-15hrs/wk for first 2-4wks, then fewher hours thereafter) REMOTE OK. Prefer you can start immediately
THE OPPORTUNITY:
This is a chance to join a team to create what arguably could be the one of the top three most important, biggest impact, and most urgently needed long overdue democracy and planet-saving organizing tools of 2026-2028 and beyond. We call it the WiseCourage toolkit. This is because WiseCourage will be the first movement organizing and mobilizing platform specifically designed to offer the essential evidence-based (a’la Chenoweth, Stephan, Pinckney, et al) tools that can successfully enable the historically best proven strategy for toppling fascist governments, namely “Nat'l Nonviolent Civic Uprisings (including city and statewide) Social Strikes” ( NNCUSS). We specifically mean the abilities to 1) catalyze moral courage at scale–for millions, 2) to recruit at least 1000 devoted mostly fulltime organizers through a much improved alternative to GoFundMe, and 3) to provide a massive well funded ($3B - $5B) mutual aid system capable of sufficiently sustaining powerful effective social strikes.
This link is to the one pager that very briefly describes each of our first abve mentioned three tools, AdoptAnOrganizer, MAMA and WiseCourage. The last one is already beta tested with huge success proving that moral courage can be catalyzed at scale:and therefore that resister recruitment metrics for nonviolent direct action tactics can for the first time ever be increased exponentially.
WHY this might be one of the most urgent and most essential Tech Relevant Opportunities Today:
Every historian and strategist of major social change movements will tell you that the most essential ingredient for major social change is for enough people–acritical mass–to have a sufficient level of real moral courage. 99% of philosophers and ethicists believe that moral courage is the most important of all virtues, the virtue that makes the consistent practice of the other virtues possible. So arguably _we are pioneering what would be one of the two highest best uses of technology ever. _And it’s about time, given the rapidly increas- ing fascist control of America and its accelerated ecocide of the planet._Carl Sagan, _America’s most renowned astronomer and astrophysicist perhaps said it best:_ _
"You are by accident of fate alive at the absolutely most critical moment
in the history of our species."
