===========================================

United for Peace and Justice, the largest antiwar coalition in the U.S.,
seeks summer interns for organizing, outreach, research, and more. The main
focus of UFPJ's work is on ending the Iraq war and bringing US troops home
now. Our ongoing campaigns include efforts to counter military recruitment,
to challenge the use of National Guards in the war, inform and educate the
public, pressure Congress, and organize a massive antiwar protest this
September. Interns will gain valuable experience while strengthening our
coalition and making UFPJ's September mobilization as successful as
possible.

Specific tasks will vary throughout the summer. Some administrative work
will apply, but we generally encourage our interns to take on significant
responsibility. The internship will include contacting our many member
groups and/or organizing other volunteers to do the same. Interns may
participate in recruiting new member groups, particularly in key
underrepresented constituencies; they may also organize and/or participate
in street outreach in New York City. Other tasks may inlcude designing
leaflets, developing educational materials, and maintaining our database.
Interns will work with our organizers on staff and potentially with members
of our national Steering Committee.

Who should apply?

We are seeking articulate, politically aware individuals with good critical
thinking skills and a demonstrable commitment to peace and justice. Prior
organizing experience, multilingualism, and/or computer skills are
preferred, but not required. Candidates should support UFPJ's campaign
goals. People of color, women and lgbt people are strongly encouraged to
apply, especially those with local organizing experience. Unfortunately, it
is not financially viable for us to pay our summer interns.

How to apply:

Please submit a resume and cover letter to
<mailto:interns at unitedforpeace.org>interns at unitedforpeace.org, with the
subject line "Summer Internship Application from E-Mail". Be sure to
