</div>\n\n        <div class="job_description">\n            <p><b>About American Promise</b></p>\n

American Promise is building a nonpartisan movement to empower, inspire and mobilize Americans to win passage of a federal constitutional amendment to end systemic corruption and limit the influence of money in elections – now a top issue for almost all Americans, regardless of party or political preference.

Our Amendment will strengthen free speech rights for all Americans, protect elections from foreign influence and systemic corruption, restore the relationship of elected representatives to their constituents and the interests of their States and districts, strengthen federalism by enabling the States to decide what works best, and reverse the political dysfunction and collapse in civic trust in America.

Our team is passionate, collaborative, courageous, adaptable, and fun. We love setting big goals and learning lessons on the way to achieving them. We celebrate our differences and work to ensure that our staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters reflect the tremendous diversity of the American people as we strive together on the most American of national projects: amending the US Constitution.

We love setting big goals and learning lessons on the way to achieving them. We celebrate our differences and work to ensure that our staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters reflect the tremendous diversity of the American people as we strive together on the most American of national projects: amending the US Constitution. \n\nThe For Our Freedom Amendment authorizes limits and regulation of money used to influence local, state and/or federal elections. American Promise unites Americans in advocacy for the Amendment to combat systemic corruption and protect our voice, votes, communities and future. We empower people in all 50 states to connect, learn, act and lead efforts to mobilize their districts, states and networks to ensure we pass this amendment. By working together—across party lines and city limits—we can make our belief a reality. We also lead and partner in specific state campaigns to advance our constitutional amendment: 22 states have taken formal action to support the amendment, with six winning state ballot initiatives among them. \n\nWe launched American Promise in January 2016 to execute a 10-year strategy to pass and ratify this constitutional amendment. If you’re excited to contribute your passion, skills, and experience to our urgent and historic effort, then please apply!","numberOfEmployees":35,"address":[{"address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Concord, MA, USA"}}],"sameAs":"https://americanpromise.net","url":"https://americanpromise.net","logo":"https://cdn.getro.com/companies/2554e7c3-7788-5cad-b540-484da132765c","memberOf":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Democracy Jobs","description":"","logo":"https://cdn.filepicker.io/api/file/8NtkRH4tRFeyE1OphqMw","url":"www.democracyjobs.org"},"keywords":"Community and Lifestyle, Government and Military"},"jobLocationType":"TELECOMMUTE","applicantLocationRequirements":{"@type":"Country","name":"Earth"}}
