Political Career Opportunities: Oklahoma and Nevada

For our Nevada and Oklahoma readers, there are some political job opportunities, some career-level, opening through the Indigenous Democratic Network (INDN). They are expanding and hence hiring. From INDN:

INDN's List is seeking to fill the positions of Executive Assistant, Political Director, Development Director, and Communications Director. If you're a college student, we also have openings for paid interns!

Our team is immensely dedicated to building a brighter future for Indian Country - working day in and day out, evenings and weekends when necessary, to ensure that our First Americans aren't the last Americans to be represented.

If you or someone you know has a taste for politics, experience relevant to our openings, and most importantly a passion for civil rights and social justice, we want you at INDN's List.

Visit www.indnslist.org/careers now to find out which opening is right for you. Application deadlines vary by position, and each will be open until we find the right person.

In addition to the openings at INDN's List, our sister organization has openings for its upcoming caucus organizing in Nevada - the first effort of the Native American Network (NAN). If you want to join a non-partisan effort to make Indians the determining vote in the Nevada Caucuses and a key component in deciding the nominees of both parties, then joining INDN's List Education Fund (ILEF) is right for you.

ILEF has openings for a Nevada NAN Political Director, up to 10 Regional Field Directors, and 24 Reservation Organizers. The Political Director will work in Nevada for four months, while field directors and reservation organizers will work for three months. Job descriptions are listed on the INDN's List website at www.indnslist.org/careers.

If you see yourself contributing firsthand to the excitement of a mobilizing Indians for a presidential caucus and will find the immediate and concrete success of your work rewarding, then apply now to join ILEF's NAN project in Nevada! We cannot make a difference without YOUR help.

Forward this email to everyone you know with a passion for building a better and fairer society - we want them here!

Hope some of you out there can help them out. They're a good organization.

Words to live by

Who could have imagined that in the United States, with its independent judiciary, thousands of men could be rounded up in the night -- many only because of their Muslim religion or foreign nationality -- without recourse to a trial, without even an acknowledgment that they had been arrested? Who could have dared to suggest that there would ever be "desaparecidos" in America? And there it was as well, torture being discussed as a legitimate option to protect a community in peril, and then being used in Guantanamo and Afghanistan, and even obscenely photographed in Iraq -- yes, there they were again, the depressing echoes of my Chile.

But worse perhaps than all of this was the erosion of the moral compass of America, the seeming indifference of the seeming majority to the suffering of others, the casual acceptance of "collateral damage" as an unquestioned consequence of the war on "terrorism," the demonization of an ubiquitous foe who had to be destroyed without second thoughts -- and often without first ones as well; without, in fact, any thoughtfulness at all. That was far more terrifying than the criminal attacks on New York and Washington: To realize that the Chile of strongman Augusto Pinochet was not that far away, not that difficult to imitate, that it was already hovering in the future and ready to materialize if we were not vigilant.
