Political Director

Save to Favorites

We’re a nonprofit social welfare organization aiming to achieve equality for the LGBTQIA community in
education and healthcare. Currently, many gay and bisexual men aren’t allowed to donate blood, and our nation’s public-school system still routinely undervalues or even ignores issues regarding the community, whether it’s history or family life education. Our organization is lobbying policymakers and educating the public on these issues, and we are asking for help from people like you. If you’ve got a tight schedule, you may consider donating instead!

• Make and utilize contacts within the Biden/Harris administration to advance our agenda.
• Ensure media outlets are relying upon our accountability tracker to gain respectability and visibility.
• Collaborate specifically with the Campaigns department to develop and implement creative ideas that fulfill Homoglobin’s mission.
• Support other department directors by coordinating and organizing multi-channel projects.
• Assist in shaping public policy in a way that advances Homoglobin’s agenda.
• Represent the Political Team during virtual meetings.
