*USPIRG Democracy Program Director position*

America's democracy is in trouble. Elections and policy decisions should 
be based on competition and debate in which the merits of one's ideas 
and abilities, not the size of one's wallet, dictate the size of one's 
influence. Today, the opposite is true. Ordinary people have less and 
less influence, public decisions are skewed towards the interests of 
those with the most money to spend, and public confidence in government 
is crumbling. The public has indicated time and time again they want to 
rein in big money in politics, but four decades of misguided court 
decisions have stripped the public's right to impose even the most 
common sense reforms.

In this challenging environment, democracy activists must be smarter 
than ever, organizing the public around shorter term solutions that give 
ordinary people more leverage in the political process, while building a 
popular movement towards fundamental structural reform.

USPIRG is looking for a Democracy Program Director to run federal and 
multi-state campaigns that engage the public, bring more people into the 
democratic process in the immediate term, and build long-term momentum 
for a stronger democracy. Click here for full job description
