Internships on a US Senate Race

Merav Ben David is a prodigious climate scientist running for the US Senate in Wyoming. Her research was used to force Exxon and BP to pay fines after their respective oil spills in 1989 and 2010. Merav would be the first scientist in the senate since 1982, as well as the first woman scientist and the first climate scientist ever elected to the senate. She’s running on a smart, cohesive, progressive platform
Our staff includes wildlife biologists and former Warren and Clinton staffers! We are looking for summer interns to strengthen our team at least till the primary (August 18) and likely
through the general (November 3). 

Specifically, we’re looking for the following:

Design intern: You know how to design a good looking poster / flyer / postcard / banner / infographic. If you’re applying for the design position, send a portfolio of at least three designs you’ve made.

News and Social Media Intern: You are a news junkie who can put together social media content that elicits instant engagement. If you’re applying for the news and social media position, include your social handles or those you’ve managed in the past.

Policy Intern: You love to research any (political) topic and turn your research into policy recommendations

Organizing intern: You know how to turn 5 postcard writers into 20 phone bankers into 200 door knockers! Ideally, you have friends/connections all around Wyoming.

Scheduler: You are the most organized person you know, and you love helping other people stay
organized and on top of their priorities.

This is a very tough race in a deep red state, so when you send your resume to yoav@bendavid2020.com,
make sure to include one or two paragraphs about why you want to work specifically on Merav’s campaign.
