Who Should Post Jobs on GAIN Power?
(And why it matters for our democracy and our movement)
GAIN Power was built to support the diverse ecosystem of people and organizations powering progressive politics, elections, advocacy, and pro-democracy work.
We know how critical it is to connect mission-driven talent with campaigns, causes, and companies working to build a better future. That’s why our Career Center exists — to help you find the people who power change.
But here’s the question we hear often:
Who is GAIN Power really for?
🚨 The Short Answer: Anyone hiring in the pro-democracy space.
If your work is values-aligned — if you're fighting for equity, justice, climate, rights, or representation — if you're resisting authoritarianism and extremism — you belong in this community.
We use the term “progressive” broadly and intentionally. It’s an umbrella term that includes everyone advancing democracy, opposing MAGA extremism, and advocating for inclusive governance, representation, and human rights.
