Living Liberally Internship

Description

Living Liberally is an organization dedicated to creating communities around progressive politics. Through social networks and events, we promote political engagement, and facilitate collaboration among progressive organizations. Too often politics is restricted to one day every four years, or to long, uninviting meetings in fluorescent-lit, linoleum-floored rooms. Instead, we take our politics where we gather, socialize, learn, love and live. We create easy entryways into progressive political involvement, where you can find a community that shares your values.

Living Liberally consists of several Liberally's. Drinking Liberally is a liberal drinking club with over 200 chapters nationwide. Screening Liberally is a monthly movie screening series where reelaction inspires real action. Laughing Liberally is a comedy show featuring the best up-and-coming political comics that has toured around the country. Eating Liberally is a growing network of progressive culinarians who gab over grassroots grub. Finally, Reading Liberally is a series of locally run progressive book clubs, which also help to promote liberal authors and book tours.

Living Liberally is currently accepting applications for a Fall 2007 internship. The intern will be responsible for helping plan Living Liberally events, publicizing these events, growing the Living Liberally network, brainstorming new Liberally ideas, updating the Cosmopolity Calendar (www.cosmopolity.org) and other Living Liberally web sites, mailing Living Liberally merchandise and maintaining mailing lists, coordinating with various Living Liberally chapter leaders throughout the country and more. The intern should be able to commit to an unpaid internship duration of three months, with flexible hours, sometimes with minimal supervision.
