This is a 12 week training internship/fellowship. At 6 hours per week over 12 weeks, GOTV Fellows will be trained to and then assist Sister District National Phonebank leaders for Sister District’s endorsed state legislative candidates. Fellows will join two National Phonebanks per week. This program is designed to train and prepare aspiring organizers for staff and volunteer roles on campaigns and electoral-focused field programs. Through trainings, weekly cohort calls, and valuable hands-on experience, Fellows will learn how to have persuasion and turnout conversations with voters, how to work with political volunteers, and how to run an excellent phonebank program, and will help elect Democratic candidates in 2024.
Interviews will be conducted in late July for a 12 week term beginning Aug 19 and ending on November 8.
Since 2016, we have endorsed candidates in 177 races across 18 states, 115 of whom won and have gone on to fight for progressive issues in their state legislatures. We’ve raised $5.9 million in small-dollar donations directly for our candidates, and reached out to more than 4.4 million voters through phones, texts, postcards, and door knocks.
For a more detailed look at our work last year, check out our Impact Report.
We’re also proud to be an organization founded and led by women, including women of color. Four out of five of us quit our jobs to be with Sister District full time.
Our flagship electoral program works to get Democrats elected to strategic state legislative seats by supporting campaigns with grassroots action. We “sister” volunteers from deep blue districts with carefully targeted races in swing districts, where flipping control of the state legislature will advance progressive policy. Our volunteers canvass, phonebank, write postcards, textbank, and fundraise for candidates.
We have a strategic, targeted focus on
(1) flipping Republican-held state chambers
(2) holding fragile Democratic majorities in state chambers, and
(3) making blue inroads in badly gerrymandered states.
