Education & Advocacy Coordinator (TOWS)

The Take On Wall Street campaign came together to build a financial system for white, black, and brown working families, not big Wall Street banks. In the spring of 2016, over 50 groups decided to work together to envision a better financial system, train activists, cultivate champions, and fight for policy change to address the predatory economic power of big Wall Street banks and billionaires, and build a financial system for all of us. Take On Wall Street is hosted by Americans for Financial Reform (AFR). The Education & Advocacy Coordinator will Lead the Take On Wall Street popular education program, a curriculum that takes activists on a participatory journey about financialization, racial and gender injustice, and corporate capture of our democracy, and what we can do to fight back.
