    Description

    What is Choice Tracker?

    Choice Tracker is an online tool and social media presence that teaches people about the impact their state legislators have on abortion rights, and motivates them to take actions in a way that can have real impact.

    After seeing a tremendous response to our website choicetracker.org, and educational materials on instagram.com in Pennsylvania, we are expanding to 10 more states in 2024.

    We are looking for an individual to take ownership and lead Choice Tracker's presence in an upcoming state. If you are interested in bringing Choice Tracker to a specific state, please let us know!

    What will this position do?

    The State Content and Research Director will become an expert on abortion legislation in the state, and pass on those learnings via choicetracker.org and social media.

    Becoming an Expert (~5-10 minutes a day, whenever you want)

    • quick scan of news headlines and sharing with other team members if there is any big news worth sharing on social
    • quick scan of social media accounts to stay on the pulse of the State Legislature (especially when it is in session)

    Curating the Site: (~1-3 hours a week, whenever you want)

    • Curating the data that will appear on Choicetracker.org: including bill descriptions, vote data, endorsements, and quotes. You'll use that data to categorize where each legislator or candidate stands on abortion rights.
    • We have a number of automations built in so you're doing less copy/pasting, and more analyzing.
    • Our goal is to launch the state in ~8 weeks -- after that, the time commitment lessens.

    Teaching Others: (~2-5 hours a month, when something big happens)

    • Working with other team members to put together a comprehensive educational post on social media when there is big legislative news, lobbying is needed about a specific bill, etc.

    Benefits:

    Help educate voters, and counteract the inevitable click bait and misinformation of the upcoming election cycle by creating a verified, fact-based resource to motivate pro-choice voters in your state.

    Team:

    You’ll be working alongside passionate individuals in other states with the same responsibilities. We hope to cultivate a collaborative team where we’re learning together and improving our process, understanding, and output.

    Skill Sets:

    This position will be a great fit for an individual with:

    • A passion for abortion rights
    • An interest in learning about the details of the legislative processes
    • An appreciation for nuance and political complexity
