This position is for someone who wants to learn a lot about social justice movements across the globe and amplify inspiring organizing via SMT's social media accounts. Your job will be to use tools we'll train you on, to find good examples, and then post or repost to show support.
Expect about 3 hours/week of searching and posting work (assuming fast internet). Must be able to commit to at least 6 months. And must be absolutely fluent in English with meticulous attention to detail.
Social Movement Technologies’ mission is to provide organizing strategy, training, and campaign support to build people's power for justice in the digital age. We're a non-profit movement support group driven 100% to meet movement needs. We're super lean - we do lots with little, just like most groups we work with. Increasingly SMT is training and working with groups working on racial and climate justice that need support to ramp up online.
SMT’s small but highly effective team has trained staff from over 5000 groups and unions over its first 11 years and worked with 200+ groups on campaigns more in-depth.
SMT provides the in-depth digital campaign training that staff and activists need in the digital age. Our goal is to expand access by driving down the cost of this training and providing excellent online learning experiences to deepen digital organizing proficiency dramatically. We use digital campaigning to amplify in-person action, broaden support, activate supporters, and pressure targets. Our bias is towards meeting the needs of small to medium-size groups.
Compensation and Hours. Pay per week will vary based on the cost of living in the country where you are based. In the U.S. it would be $60/week.
What we’re looking for in you:
- Experience with a range of social media platforms (personal experience is fine)
- High attention to detail is a must. Excellent proofing and copy-editing skills are required
- A personal political commitment to progressive and intersectional political change and the ability to identify inspiring content from direct actions and protest, with guidance.
- Committed and experienced with some movement work, personal activism
- Native fluency in English, with no QC needed
- 6 month commitment
