Description:
The Institute for Policy Studies (www.ips-dc.org) is seeking volunteers and interns to assist with a number of projects at our New England office, based at the Jamaica Plain “Brewery” complex (near Stonybrook T Station on the MBTA Orange Line). Our Program on Inequality and the Common Good works on a variety of projects. See www.ips-dc.org/inequality for a summary of our 2009 activities. Seeking volunteers and interns for the following projects:
Tax/Revenue Campaigns –Campaign Back-up
The Wealth for the Common Good project of IPS is mobilizing business leaders and wealthy individuals to promote progressive taxes. Currently, we are leading two campaigns: to reverse the Bush-era tax cuts for high-income households and to end overseas tax havens abuse. We are seeking volunteers who can assist with campaign research and outreach. To learn more, please visit www.wealthforcommongood.org
Support Groups to Face Tough Economic Times:
IPS coordinates a network of common security clubs. We are seeking a volunteer/intern for 10-15 hours/week to help with research, outreach and publicity. Common Security Clubs are small groups, often based at religious congregations, that address the economic crisis with education, mutual aid and social action. To learn more, please visit www.commonsecurityclubs.com
Jamaica Plain Forum (JPF)
The Jamaica Plain Forum is a series of lectures, films, and community gatherings designed to address the current issues of the day. We are seeking volunteers/interns who will assist in coordinating the forum. Tasks include publicity and marketing, assisting with forum planning and help to ensure the smooth running of the program. To learn more, please visit www.jamaicaplainforum.org
