Overview

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

While the majority of our time as an organization is spent on engaging the working class, we also believe that people with access to wealth are an important constituency to organize into our coalition. This role will support the cadre donor project, a long-term project incubated by Working Families Power to develop wealthy people into organizers who understand how change actually happens, who organize other wealthy people and who fund movement work with an orientation to learning and experimentation. This project aims to build a center of gravity in the money landscape that shifts resources to strategic power-building and the left winning counter-hegemony. This role is primarily a base-building role focused on executing organizing and leadership development plans. This is a temporary, full-time role from mid-June through early July 2026. This role includes benefits.
