I went to D.C. yesterday for the Hillary Campaign Alumni Job Fair. I took this photo to document the fact that I was not the oldest person in attendance:
My fantasy was that there would be recruiters for the anti-Trump "War Room" there, and I wasn’t entirely disappointed — American Bridge PAC had a table at the event, and someone in a different line told me that they are the ones who will be largely responsible for putting the War Room together. Heck, I would even be a receptionist for the WAR ROOM. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a receptionist. So, anyway, I gave them my resume.
Other organizations that caught my eye, and got my resume: The City of New York (I would work for DeBlasio in a heartbeat); Teach for America; Planned Parenthood, SEIU, AFSCME, Emily’s List, AmericaVotes.org, Climate Action Campaign, People for the American Way, the DCCC, Educators for Excellence, Aristotle, NARAL, and many others.
It was comforting to see so many progressive groups ramping up for a fight. Most of them were looking to fill dozens of positions all over the country. And here’s something cool — virtually all of these organizations have websites where you can learn in detail about the jobs they are looking to fill, and then apply online. Even if you didn’t work for Hillary, or go to this Job Fair. So have at it, my fellow Kossacks.
At the end of the day, Hillary’s Campaign Manager, Robby Mook, came out and gave us all a pep talk:
He said that when he was an organizer, initially for the Kerry ‘04 Campaign, they didn’t have post-campaign job fairs, so he went many, many months, jobless, in his parents’ basement.
He told us not to give up.
What about you? What is your fantasy dream job?
THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY
Nationwide: January 21, 2017
Find your march here and start a group effort to march together, it will be listed here in CUA.
Women’s March on America, inspired by the Women’s March on Washington, calls on all Americans across the political spectrum to hold marches on the same day, at the same times, in communities across the country.
Together, we will send a message to our leaders and the world that the United States of America stands for values of human decency, equal rights and freedom from discrimination.
Our vision is that on January 21, 2017, the day after the Inauguration, Americans will unite in towns, cities, and schools across the nation to march in solidarity with communities affected by hate, intolerance, and acts of violence.
Many of us will not be able to make it to the march in Washington, DC. But we can come together in our local communities to march for our shared values.
The New York City & New Jersey Kos groups are joining in on the already massive Women’s March on NYC on Saturday, January 21, 2017 and marching together with the Daily Kos banner, shown just above. They’ll likely meet afterward for food & drink, stay tuned for those details. NYC March details here.
