“We need candidates and staff from all walks of life to enter the arena. But the leaders we need find politics inaccessible. They often lack the training, coaching, and connections to launch and run successful campaigns. And while the right has built enduring infrastructure to support their leaders from diapers to dentures, progressives rely on temporary solutions that rise and fall every four years. This underinvestment in talent has cost us countless elections.”
Arena was created to support the groundswell of progressives entering politics after the 2016 election to convene, train, and support the next generation of candidates and campaign staff. This is an overview of the work they did in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
“Arena Careers is the one-stop-shop for progressive talent. Whether you’re looking to hire staff, seeking a job on a campaign, or building your network, this community is built for you.”
I worked on this animation with Arena Careers to encourage more employers to use the site and provide a quick, friendly introduction to how easy the platform is to use.
