American Promise

Position: Communications Specialist

Location: Remote, permanently

American Promise was launched with a commitment to bring together three essential elements to counter the damage to America caused by the concentrated political power of billionaires, global corporations, the biggest unions and special interests, even foreign governments, spending money to dominate the debate and influence our election outcomes.

First, we need a constitutional solution. America has to restore the Constitutional principle that every American has a free speech right, a right to be heard and represented.

Second, we have a winning strategy and a dedicated organization that unites the country. An amendment to the U.S. Constitution is one of the hardest things Americans do. It takes patience, consensus, and hard work.

Third, we value honesty and transparency. Our plan requires commitment, resources, and the patience and grit to see it through. We disclose our donors. We talk straight and on the level. We are cross-partisan and take pride in that.

Americans love a big challenge when everything is on the line and only a mighty effort can save the day. And with this challenge, it’s the same: millions of Americans have responded—from every region, state, and background. Our progress so far has been beyond anyone’s wildest expectations.

We have a clear mission. We have a clear call to service. We have a clear opportunity to unite, heal, and renew our country. The time is now. Join us at American Promise.
