State legislatures are ground zero in the fight for democracy.  Since 2017, Forward Majority has been at the frontline of the fight to accelerate Democratic power in state legislatures.  To date, we’ve mobilized over $70M to advance our mission. At the start of the new decade, we launched Blueprint for Power, a 10-year strategy to win and defend Democratic majorities in states that will drive national power through 2030.  

 

As we continue to build and scale our work in the years ahead, interns are an essential addition to our team.

  • Researching candidates

  • Assisting with collecting information about races across country

  • Maintaining fundraising database

 

Compensation: 

This is an unpaid internship, however, interns will be given a $800 / month stipend and $200 / month to cover any expenses. 

 

Interns may utilize this internship for college credit. The internship will include a series of brown bag lunches with key staff members and progressive consultants. Interns will learn about political fundraising, digital programs, designing paid media, the use of key progressive technology, and legislative research, among other skills needed for a career in campaign politics.
