🏢 About Stones' Phones

Stones' Phones is a mission-driven firm exclusively serving Democratic candidates and progressive organizations, specializing in phone campaigns for voter engagement, advocacy, and fundraising.

This entry-level role offers a unique opportunity to learn the ins and outs of political campaigning, from research and content marketing to networking in the DC area.
