Organizational Summary
The Debt Collective is a membership-based union for debtors. We use our collective power to fight for better conditions in our financial lives and a more equitable society: the cancellation and renegotiation of debts, access to publicly-funded goods (education, healthcare, housing, etc), anti-capitalist and anti-racist economic policies, and much more. Our current campaigns include the national fight for full student debt cancellation and publicly-funded tuition-free higher education, as well as campaigns around tenant power and carceral debt/bail abolition in California, and other campaigns in development.
Position Summary
The Debt Collective is seeking a full-time Organizer to co-create and implement our campaigning, organizing, and base building strategies to build the power of multiracial debtors union. We seek an experienced organizer who is excited to fuse labor, community organizing and distributed organizing models to build and engage the base of our debtors’ union, design pathways of engagement and develop training models to support mass action. This is an opportunity to bring your creativity and conviction and help us bring our organization to a new level.
The Organizer will begin by focusing on our Cancel Student Debt/Free College Campaign, and eventually shift into growing people-powered campaign strategies and programming for our other areas of work: medical debt, carceral debt, housing debt, credit card debt etc. This position will help the Organizing Director develop and implement a vision for infrastructure and programming that allows us to grow, retain and empower our membership.
The ideal candidate is a people person who is highly motivated to help create a powerful multiracial base that wins changes for debtors across the country. They are a systems-builder comfortable mobilizing and growing a national network and an experienced base-builder skilled at building effective volunteer teams.
