Community Mobilization & Events Intern (Remote)
Overview
Good Party is looking for an outgoing and charismatic Mobilization Intern for the summer and fall. This is a remote, paid position with opportunities for part-time and full-time hours. You’ll work closely with our Director of Partnerships & Innovation and our Chief Mobilization Officer. You’ll work to spread Good Party’s movement across the country. You’ll assist with our mobilization efforts and strategies, particularly those focused on U.S colleges. You’ll be involved in the day to day of an early stage startup and have multiple opportunities for mentorship and growth through interactions with senior leadership.
Our democracy has been corrupted by a two-party system that serves moneyed interests, leaving the people apathetic, or having to choose between the lesser of two evils, neither of which truly serve them. So, important issues continue to go unaddressed. Whether you’re concerned about the climate, privacy, inequality, or our individual freedoms, everything is spiraling downward because of the dark doom-loop of dysfunctional partisan politics. It’s no wonder that a majority of eligible voters (over 130M Americans), including more than half of Millennials and Gen Z, say that neither Republicans, nor Democrats represent them.
Good Party is not a political party. We’re building free social tools to change the rules and disrupt the corrupt! Our plan is to use memetics and a totally fresh approach to energize and mobilize digital natives, who will be the majority of eligible voters by 2024. We’re growing the #goodparty movement of real parties on Tuesdays across the country. This will bring awareness to truly independent, people-powered candidates from across the political spectrum to create a real chance of winning elections, for the first time in modern history.
Good Party is founded by serial entrepreneur, Farhad Mohit, with over $1B in exits — Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate.
