Internship: Contact Congress Advocacy to Safeguard Palestinian Communities

Save to Favorites

We need your help. Rebuilding Alliance is working with constituents and holding Zoom briefings to ask Congress to halt evictions and demolitions against Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Join a remarkable team to strategize, develop templates, and call Congress.

Our Advocacy team updates Senators and Representatives re. Palestinian homes and villages at risk. We mentor constituents who learn how to cultivate their ongoing relationship with their Congressional staff. It works! Our Contact Congress program is what has kept Palestinian villages like al-Aqaba, Susiya and al-Khan al-Ahmar standing.

This opportunity is an excellent next step to build your career in public policy, government, journalism, publishing, communications, or even event planning. We will teach you how to use a variety of advocacy software tools.

The ideal candidate enjoys working as part of team, doing research, making phone calls, scheduling, and social media, pays attention to technical details, is willing to learn about community-directed policy change, and is keenly interested in peace, justice, and the Middle East. In addition, you must be able to handle multi-faceted projects, have excellent writing skills, be determined to get busy speakers to send you their bios on time, and be able to process audience registration data. Furthermore, a candidate must be motivated, self- directed, able to meet deadlines, and work well both individually and as part of a team.

We're especially interested in candidates who would like to stay with this for at least a year. Besides this campaign, there are many other advocacy needs that require Congress's attention.

If you are interested in joining our advocacy team, please send an email to katelin@rebuildingalliance.org with: (1) your cover letter describing why you are the right person for this position, (2) a resume, and (3) 3 references.

Thank you again for your interest!
