EducateUS is building a movement of voters laser-focused on advancing sex education across the country. We believe that universal access to sex education can change the world.

The Role
The Lead Organizer is responsible for EducateUS’s organizing activities, with the goal of building the grasstops and grassroots power necessary to change U.S. public school sex education for good. The Lead Organizer cultivates relationships with state and local partner organizations, school board candidates, and individual advocates, and provides these local organizers and advocates with the training, resources, and support they need to win for sex education. Their work is key to positioning EducateUS as the go-to source of information and support for local advocates, school board candidates and school board members who want to champion sex ed in their campaigns and policies.

Lead organizer responsibilities and projects will include:

  • Work with partner organizations and advocates to assess gaps in their strategy, skills, infrastructure, and resources, and develop plans to help them fill those gaps. Where the Lead Organizer or another member of the EducateUS team has the capacity to do so, we provide the needed support directly. When outside support is needed, the Lead Organizer works with our partner organizers and advocates to secure it.
  • Educate our constituencies on the benefits of organizing for sex education and teach them how to become more effective advocates and organizers for sex ed and related issues.
  • Collaborate with the EducateUS Youth Advisory Board on projects in their own communities. Identify opportunities for YAB members to support the Lead Organizer’s projects, and support YAB members in developing their own projects and campaigns.

  • Plan and execute public action campaigns that engage individuals across the country in effective direct action for sex education.

Required skills and experience: 

  • Experience working on at least two political, electoral, or issue campaigns as a field organizer or in a digital organizing strategy role.
  • Experience organizing in-person (such as door knocking, community meetings, tabling, and one-on-ones) as well as online (such as pressure campaigns and peer-to-peer texting programs).
  • Experience training people how to do things. This might be organizing related, but could also include tutoring, teaching people how to use an unfamiliar platform, or providing coaching on improving a skill.
  • At least one year of people management experience, including employees, interns, or volunteers.
  • A strong project manager – able to design a plan, create a roadmap, and follow through to make sure tasks and details are all executed. Able to identify when plans need to change or when additional knowledge or capacity is needed.
  • A smart strategist – able to develop effective organizing plans and identify improvements that could be made to existing plans.
  • A skilled and reliable advisor – someone partners feel confident in turning to when they need help or a sounding board.
  • Passionate about the fight for universal public school sexuality education, and existing familiarity with sex ed issues.
  • Able to organize with comfort and skill across lines of difference and in the communities that many EducateUS candidates and partners are in: red or purple/mixed partisanship areas, low-income communities, and communities of color.
  • Excellent advocacy, consensus-building, coalition-building, and leadership skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collegially and collaboratively with other staff and other organizations to successfully achieve campaign and program work plans and goals.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. Able to analyze complex issues and communicate them to a variety of audiences.
  • Adaptive, with the ability to think on the fly, be creative, and pivot when circumstances require it.

  • Effective time management skills, including attention to detail while maintaining the ability to prioritize, manage, and complete multiple tasks in a timely manner.
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative, work independently with limited direction, solve problems and follow through on commitments in an all-remote environment.
  • Comfort working remotely and using the technology that facilitates that. EducateUS currently uses Google suite, Slack, Monday, EveryAction, and Zoom.

Press Assistant

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee 

The DLCC’s sole mission is to win Democratic majorities and build Democratic power in state legislatures. To grow governing power, we battle to win and hold majorities, build their capacity to be self-sustaining, and expand the map cycle over cycle to shape the future of this country. As the official party committee dedicated to state legislatures, we also represent and elevate our ballot level on the national stage to bring more attention and resources to this ballot level.

Over the last decade, a reimagined and reinvigorated Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee has reversed electoral trends and shifted the competitive state legislative map in this new decade. While fighting from behind due to Republicans’ massive war chest, rigged maps, and focus among Democrats and progressives on the federal level, the DLCC has won back a dozen majorities in the states  – including a historic midterm election cycle in 2022 when Democrats flipped four chambers red to blue, and the President’s party did not lose a single chamber for the first time in modern history.

The DLCC is an all-of-the-above committee that operates year-round, providing funds for the full scope of campaign work and running significant independent advertising to win races. The data, targeting, organizing, digital, communications and fundraising support, and strategic expertise we provide to states is invaluable. Winning state legislatures doesn’t happen in a single election — they are multi-cycle plays, and the DLCC’s work with our caucuses to lay the groundwork for future Democratic wins. And when the DLCC secures new majorities, Democrats move quickly on an agenda that protects fundamental freedoms and builds an economy for all.

The DLCC has momentum in our strategy for the decade, and we cannot let up. Extreme MAGA Republicans are showing no signs of slowing down their anti-democratic crusade and there’s a long fight ahead of us that will require more investment, attention, and resources for state legislative races. Every victory at our level of the ballot is a win for the future of the Democratic Party, and this year, we’re capitalizing on our progress so far to defend our ground and keep expanding the map for Democratic power.

Alongside our mission, we also value our team. We are explicit about our culture and values and how they impact our work and collaboration with others. The DLCC staff, along with our Board of Directors, are committed to holding ourselves to a standard of respect, inclusion, growth, and performance that meets the political and organizational requirements of the future we want to build.

Press Assistant 

The DLCC seeks a Press Assistant to join our Marketing & Communications Department. The DLCC’s communications team is working to share the DLCC’s incredible achievements and work with outlets across the country to influence key legislative races. The Press Assistant is responsible for working within the press team to successfully execute the DLCC’s narrative and highlight the work of Democratic legislatures across the country. The role will work within the press team to drive the committee’s narrative, draft written materials, and monitor the media landscape nationally and in DLCC target states.

The Press Assistant reports to the Communications Director. The DLCC is a hybrid organization located in Washington, DC. This position would ideally be based in Washington, DC, though eligible to be permanently remote. This position is part of a collective bargaining unit.

The Press Assistant is expected to model the values of the DLCC:

  • CREDIBILITY: We are respected and trusted in words and actions.
  • INCLUSIVE: The DLCC values the unique experience and perspective of all who work here. We strive to make all contributors feel welcomed, valued, and respected. We focus on outcomes, recognizing different people approach opportunities and challenges differently.
  • INITIATIVE: We exhibit high levels of creativity in our work and need all team members to proactively contribute ideas to move our work forward.
  • RESULTS DRIVEN: Our team undertakes projects professionally and executes them fully and to completion.
  • RISK: We identify opportunities to employ new ideas and tactics and execute these ideas when we believe the potential reward outweighs the risk. We evaluate, learn, and improve our strategy when the risks pay off and when they do not.
  • TEAMWORK: We work collaboratively, additively, and in sync with our colleagues. Our individual work considers the needs, capacity, and expertise of those we work alongside.

Responsibilities 

  • Drafting external and internal communications and managing approvals processes for press releases, talking points, memos, newsletters, op-eds, public remarks for the President, and more.
  • Assist in drafting rapid response and executing press opportunities.
  • Manage the press inbox and assist with responding to press inquiries.
  • Monitor news and compile daily press clips.
  • Maintain and grow our national and regional press lists and press partners list.
  • Provide staff support for in-person and virtual press events.
  • Identify new and emerging media opportunities, alongside legacy media.
  • Coordinate with other departments to support the DLCC’s message online and help ensure the organization is executing a seamless and integrated cross-channel communications plan.
  • Perform other duties as needed.

Outcomes 

  • DLCC’s brand is consistent in written materials across channels, and the committee is responsive to news of the day and long-term narrative goals.
  • DLCC’s knowledge of and outreach to media outlets should be cultivated based on opportunities to increase coverage.
  • DLCC staff and voices have the information needed to align on messaging, talking points, and priorities.
  • DLCC’s media list accurately identifies and includes contact information for outlets, reporters, and bookers for the department to communicate the committee’s message and successes.

Qualifications 

  • One year of prior relevant experience, which may be met by academic or other experiences.
  • An interest in gaining experience with political communications is required.
  • Excellent writing skills.
  • The ability to work under tight deadlines and respond to rapid requests.
  • The ability to translate complex topics and information into compelling messaging materials (ability to educate reporters and surrogates about what we do, what a caucus is, why it’s important, etc.).
  • A demonstrated ability to think creatively and out of the box (crucial for breaking through in the media by tying state legislative news to national news narrative).

New Mexico Fellowship

IPS is a progressive organization dedicated to building a more equitable, ecologically sustainable, and peaceful society. In partnership with dynamic social movements, we turn transformative policy ideas into action.

Dates of Fellowship: June 1, 2026 – May 31, 2027 in Washington, D.C.; July 1 – December 31, 2027 in New Mexico

Description:

The New Mexico Fellowship is an 18-month, paid, public policy fellowship, with the first year at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) in our Washington, D.C. office, and the final six months at a non-profit organization in New Mexico. This fellowship program seeks to help mentor a new generation of progressive leaders in and from New Mexico. In the past, this fellowship has recruited diverse candidates who are now serving New Mexico in multiple ways: leading nonprofits, practicing law, working with elected officials, and shaping progressive legislation.

The New Mexico Fellowship provides the opportunity for college graduates and/or young scholar-activists residing in New Mexico to come to IPS to be trained in public scholarship, a term we define as the connection between grassroots activism and policy research. Through the fellowship, participants sharpen their knowledge of the progressive landscape and policy world, and develop their capacities to think, write, research, and connect with social movements. After learning about the operations of a thriving non-profit in Washington, D.C., fellows will return to New Mexico for a six month paid placement at a social change organization. The Fellow will work with our advisory board, which includes former Fellows, to find a placement that aligns with their skills and interests. Past fellows have been placed with groundbreaking institutions such as the Center for Civic Policy, College Horizons, the New Mexico Center for Law and Poverty, New Mexico Voices for Children, and the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club.

Each fellow receives hands-on experience by working closely with 1-2 IPS projects under individualized mentorship from IPS public scholars. We believe that each scholar-activist

brings a unique skillset to the table. Accordingly, upon acceptance, we tailor the fellowship to participant’s personal interests by typically pairing them with IPS projects for 2 six-month segments, where they will become an essential part of that project’s staff. Fellows also have the opportunity to learn effective fundraising and communication strategies by working with the development and communications teams in addition to their personalized projects.

Fellows can expect to work on at least two IPS projects in 2026 & 2027, including potentially:

Global Economy Program: The Global Economy Program provides research, communications, and networking support to dynamic economic justice movements to speed the transition to an equitable and sustainable economy and reverse extreme levels of economic and racial inequality and excessive corporate and Wall Street power.

Project on Trade and Mining: The Project on Trade and Mining works with grassroots activists to advance alternative international trade and investment policies, including supporting campaigns in Latin America against global mining corporations’ attempts to steamroll local resistance to harmful extractives projects.

Climate Policy Program: The Climate Policy Program supports the transition from a financially extractive, fossil fueled economy to a just, regenerative economy. We provide long-term vision and bold ideas in domestic and international policy spaces, using research, writing and strategic conversations to redefine what is politically possible.

National Priorities Project: The National Priorities Project works to ensure our federal resources prioritize peace, shared prosperity, and economic prosperity by shedding light on the militarization of the federal budget and critical opportunities for reinvestment.

Who We Are Looking For:

Candidates are selected from two streams of applicants residing in New Mexico:

Recent college graduates (BA or MA) who would benefit from mentoring and work at IPS
Members of activist groups where IPS and the group feel it would benefit the individual to have training in public scholarship in Washington

The ideal candidate is:

Motivated, flexible, organized
Able to multitask and navigate between demanding and sometimes tedious work of research, and the pace and energy of campaigns
A strong writer, reader, and critical thinker, with interest in learning how to improve their writing to be accessible for multiple audiences
Committed to building analysis across issue areas
Dedicated to building relationships with thought leaders and social movements. IPS is a warm, learning community, and we’d like someone to join us who is seeking to build community with us
A self-starter. We are looking for someone who will take initiative in defining what they want to learn, approach work challenges with a problem-solving mentality, and who will speak up when there are gaps in their work
Able to work independently and in a team
Passionate about, and has already devoted time and effort to, social justice

 

Salary/Benefits:

The New Mexico Fellow is required to come to the IPS office in Washington, D.C. for one year, and then to work with a New Mexico non-profit for six months to use the skills acquired at IPS to further public scholarship and activism in New Mexico.

This job is covered under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement with the Washington -Baltimore News Guild, CWA Local 32035. The Collective Bargaining Agreement is available.

The New Mexico Fellowship is a full-time Fellowship with a yearly compensation of $57,000 (before taxes), paid semi-monthly. The Fellow will receive three weeks of paid vacation and 12 days of sick leave. Full medical, vision, dental, and life insurance coverage is also provided. IPS staff will also connect the Fellow to networking and professional development opportunities, and the Fellow will be included in all IPS staff-wide activities. In the second portion of the program, the Fellow will be paid for the final six months with the New Mexico non-profit (a pre-tax total of $25,000 for six months).

We want this fellowship to be an incredible and safe learning experience. The fellowship will begin with us in June in D.C. Work at IPS is hybrid, with 2-3 days in the office (and the option for more) and 2-3 days working from home. The June start date is intentional. To ensure the fellow is plugged into our broader IPS community, they will begin their fellowship alongside our Henry A. Wallace cohort. The HWFP is a leadership development program for emerging activists and comprises 12+ workshops on public scholarship and progressive frameworks.

Travel expenses to/from D.C. and New Mexico are covered at the beginning and end of the fellowship, and IPS staff will advise the incoming Fellow about D.C. housing options. IPS Staff have compiled some resources to help the fellow find housing in the metro D.C. area and are happy to assist in the process.

The New Mexico Fellow will begin on Monday, June 1st, 2026.
