Rhode Island Political Organizer

About the Working Families Party

The Working Families Party (WFP) is the progressive party for the multiracial working class, fighting for a nation that works for the many, not the few. We recruit, train, and support transformational candidates up and down the ballot — and run them to win.

We believe that no matter where we come from or what our color, most of us want the same things. We want to earn enough to thrive, not just survive, and leave a better future for our kids. We want healthy food and clean water, safe neighborhoods and a safe world. We want to be free.

The Working Families Party is regular people coming together across our differences to make a better future for us all. We’re a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful. We want an America which realizes the promise – unrealized in our history – of freedom and equality for all.

This position is supervised by the RI State Director, and includes local and national professional development opportunities in areas such as management, organizing, communications, electoral campaigns, and fundraising.

This is a full-time role. While this is a hybrid position, it does require significant in-person work, especially during campaign season, as well as evening and weekend work 1-3+ days/week. Ability to travel locally around Rhode Island is required.
