How to Apply for Distributed Organizer, Pacific

at Red Wine & Blue

🏢 About Red Wine & Blue

Red Wine & Blue is a unique national community of over 600,000 diverse suburban women fighting extremism through grassroots organizing. Working here means joining a mission-driven team that values connection, humor, and real impact—combating polarization one conversation at a time.

About This Role

As the Distributed Organizer for the Pacific region, you'll directly support and expand a network of local group leaders across five states, empowering them to build community and educate others. Your work is critical to scaling the movement and ensuring leaders feel equipped and connected.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual check-in with a leader in Hawaii, followed by planning a regional virtual event for Washington and Oregon groups. You'd spend afternoons in one-on-one mentoring calls with emerging leaders, then wrap up by updating project plans for the next month's cohort collaboration.

  • Avoid vague references to 'organizing' without concrete examples of managing people or events remotely.
