[Ben Fitch-Fleischmann]

Hello Missoula Community,

I'm writing to share an opportunity for work doing community organizing in
western Montana. More info and contact email at the link below.

*United Today, Stronger Tomorrow *is a five-year-old regional organizing
initiative restoring public confidence in democracy and the ability for
government and communities to address the biggest challenges of our time.
Launched during Covid, UTST first ensured public health measures were
deployed effectively and equitably in rural areas. When federal funding
started to flow to states and localities, we turned our focus on government
accountability and transparency to significantly improve the likelihood
that federal funding targeted community-identified priorities, good jobs,
and long-term economic development. Today, our work makes both government
and corporations accountable to people and communities. We do this by
convening important stakeholders together to align around a set of
solutions and then work to build power collectively and to engage a new
base of people into our work. We are particularly focused on activating and
developing people who feel like they lack a “political home”.

*UTST’s Montana Program involves:*
● Statewide Federal Work: Convening key stakeholders such as trades unions;
community organizations; and clean energy, environmental, Native, and
farmer/agricultural groups into statewide work focused on how to ensure
federal policies meet the needs of all communities, create good jobs for
local residents, and invest in long term economic development and
healthcare.
● Building a Community Organizing Project in Western MT/Flathead County:
Over the last two years, UTST convened meetings of Flathead County
residents to identify local issues and begin to develop campaigns.
Affordable housing, equitable and sustainable development, and health,
especially mental health services, were all identified, and campaigns
developed.

*Job Description:* The Campaign organizer will build and manage a
member-run, local, organizing committee in Flathead County. This will
include working with its members to conduct campaigns on issues that are
widely and deeply felt across a diverse MT constituency. In addition to
base building, the organizer will develop relationships with existing
organizations who are potential campaign coalition partners. The organizer
will develop and train committee members, build a campaign plan, and manage
the campaign in collaboration with the project partners. The issues,
demands, targets, and strategies will be developed by the local organizing
committee.
