Alliances are grass-roots groups that deal with state, local, and campus issues in their community.
I ll be spending half my time on the road and half of my time in Washington. Part of Raboin s work is targeted to developing a new generation of informed and active women s movement leaders. The job will test and hone Raboin s ability to organize events, inspire students and others, and develop her presentation skills. Other critical skills needed for the job, according to Raboin, are a commitment to feminism and advancing women s rights, as well as a passion for working at the grass-roots level. The job is a one-year position in a program launched three years ago.
