https://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-old/425/idpijob.shtml
The Interfaith Drug Policy
Initiative is seeking an experienced community organizer who is a dynamic
person of faith (ideally a clergyperson, seminary graduate, etc.) to build
support among the religious community for taxing and regulating marijuana
(similarly to alcohol).
The applicant must be able
to articulate the merits of taxing and regulating marijuana from a moral
perspective that is persuasive to the full spectrum of mainstream people
of faith.
The religious outreach organizer's
goal will be to persuade faith leaders and organizations to endorse a resolution
calling for this public policy reform and then to cultivate relationships
with those people in a way that maximizes their influence on elected officials
and the general public.
Applicant must be willing
to relocate to wherever organizing is needed to support specific public
policy efforts underway at the state or local level.
Application deadline is March
20, starting date is April 17, ending date is September 17. Visit
