General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI'd like to work for the DNC at a national level.
I need an income so I can't just volunteer.
I'm a substitute teacher so I'm able to actually relocate temporarily to D.C. (if I could be provided housing).
I feel the tide may be turning because a childhood friend of mine (who was a trumper) is disgusted by the republicans because of what happened with the right to abortion. I don't know that she'll vote for the dems but she WON'T vote for the repubs. I think the TX abortion travesty that happened with Kate Cox was a game changer.
Please give me any ideas you guys may have.
Thank you

(32,082 posts)There are almost no jobs with the DNC in DC. And no one is going to give you housing.
It is better to try and get involved with a campaign in Texas, if that is where you are, and then work from there. But most of those campaigns are completely volunteer. There is a network of paid campaign operatives but truthfully it is difficult to break into that.

I figured what everyone's saying was the case but I thought I'd put it out there.
