into the campaigns.

.. Monitoring the campaigns and working with local campaign
organizers to maximize benefits for both the students and
the campaign.

Salary:  $17-20,000 depending on experience. Health benefits will be provided.

Location: Organizer will be based in New York, but must be willing to travel extensively.

and economic justice, and have experience working with students.
