About CPD + CPDA

The Center for Popular Democracy and CPD Action (together, CPD/A) work to promote equity, opportunity, and a dynamic democracy in partnership with innovative base-building organizations, organizing networks and alliances, and progressive unions across the country.

About the Position:

This position will lead organizers to unite working families in demands for a just economic recovery, focusing on unemployed workers, fair work weeks, whistleblowers, and other economic justice policies. The National Organizer will develop and execute high-impact and game-changing strategies that empower our members to achieve concrete victories such as expansion of unemployment insurance and ensuring safe workplaces, while building power for a recovery that prioritizes working people over Wall Street.
