Nonprofit startup seeks a comedy actor / writer / director / crackerjack of all trades to work with the founder on building out a universe of fun, interactive activities that small groups can do together online to form a community to focus on saving our democracy.



Saving democracy? Seriously?

Reasonable question. We’ll get to that. The ideal candidate is someone who is technically adventurous, a great script writer, has impressive experience shooting and editing video, including being in front of the camera, and knows how to herd cats...errr... organize group events. We are in the early days and are looking for a smart, passionate person to help our growing, ambitious team.



Let’s get back to the saving democracy part.

Well, we are on the way to proving that the vast majority of Americans (over 90%) share MANY of the same goals for the country. If that sounds crazy, then here’s an example: we demonize each other over gun control legislation, but gun control isn’t the goal, it’s a tactic. Reducing violence is the goal, and most of us want that. We don’t realize that for most political issues we’re just arguing about tactics.



Our journey begins with an experience we call “The Unify Challenge.” Americans who are outside each other’s bubbles get together online and take a survey to help uncover how we not only share the same goals, but are grossly misinformed about the intentions of people “on the other side.” At the end of the Unify Challenge, we ask the pairs of “new friends,” if they’d like to continue to meet to do more engaging wisdom-building activities together. Almost everyone says: “Yes.” So now we need to build out those exciting new activities. That’s where you come in.



Tell me more. What’s the job?

We’re looking for a Utility Player: a Swiss Army Knife for writing, acting, copy editing, video production, organizing, people wrangling, research, testing out new tech, stage managing events, running and analyzing user tests, and pretty much anything else that comes up. We need someone who is a real self-starter. We’re looking for someone who is confident and also ready to learn; someone who knows how to identify problems and figure out how to fix them.
