The Validus Organizer will build and lead organizing teams through planning, organizing, and executing public actions that will improve the material conditions of the justice system's impacted leaders. They will also serve as key collaborators with faith communities and institutions to strengthen the network of people who are a part of Live Free Indiana.
Grow a network of grassroots leaders, faith communities, and civic leaders: Agitate and inspire people to take bold risks and responsibility. Demonstrate a disciplined focus on intentional leadership development through one-to-one conversations, identify the self-interest of others, and invite grassroots leaders to take on leadership roles. Organizers average 20 one-on-one meetings a week.
Build teams: Deeply invest in people who develop the leadership of others. Coach and support leaders to engage 300+ citizens in public events, direct action, house meetings, and campaigns.
Develop yourself: This includes shadowing, personal reflection, and real-time direct feedback. Be willing to try on new ways to approach something, even if you’re not sure it will work. Be eager to receive direct challenges from peers and supervisors to address personal barriers to leadership development.
Co-create big plans: Co-create long-term strategic plans with grassroots leaders that escalate power and deliver wins on interrupting mass incarceration and the cycle of incarceration.
Build Vote Power. Grow the voting power of people of color, women, men, and youth, and turn nonvoters into voters in your state and city.
Build Money Power. As an organizer, you will be responsible for raising money to launch the Validus Movement. This will be accomplished by developing relationships with local and national funders and getting commitments from leaders and partner institutions to invest in the movement.
Amplify on-the-ground organizing with sophisticated tools . We equip leaders with sophisticated tools to amplify the on-the-ground organizing and bring far more people than we can personally touch into our movement community. For example, integrating tested messages that inoculate dog-whistle racism and build solidarity, supporting leaders to collect data and track supporter participation, overlay digital organizing, and large-scale grassroots fundraising.
People at the Center. Bring your whole self and brilliance into a robust and accountable relationship with your supervisor and peers. Be willing to develop yourself through direct feedback, challenge/agitation, ongoing reflection, reading, and learning from staff, leaders, clergy, and others.
