Campaign co-lead: Political Advocacy

Party members can shape their party’s policy. This campaign aims to put the voices of occupied peoples in front of as many party members as possible, by organizing lectures and tracking party events, then inviting ourselves to them.

We also work with the delegations team to get as many party members as possible to visit occupied territories and deepen their engagement. Together with experts, we draft proposals, policies and motions for the parties to adopt, and work with them to improve their positions.

This creates change within each party. Added up across parties, it can lead to national policy change and real-world impact.

At Solidarity Rising, we don’t just dream of justice; we build the infrastructure to achieve it. The campaign lead is the backbone of our organization: the strategist, the mentor and the community builder who makes sure our vision turns into real results for the occupied peoples we work for.

You make sure the campaign reaches its goals, that volunteers and members feel seen and supported, and that interns have a clear way to contribute. You help build an inclusive community that values everyone’s work, big or small, and you make sure the campaign has the people it needs by recruiting, onboarding and mentoring your team.

Every campaign has two co-leads who support each other and share the work and responsibility. Everyone in our organization is a volunteer, including our campaign leads.

1. Empowering people and building community

• Nurture community: foster a community where volunteers feel connected, valued and excited to work.
• Onboarding and growth: welcome new members, guide them into their roles and invest in their development as activists and changemakers.
• Mentorship: be the main guide for interns, with clear expectations and the tools they need to succeed.

2. Driving the work

• Capacity building: keep an eye on how many people the project has, and write recruitment ads to bring in fresh energy when needed.
• Strategic execution: develop and maintain the project timeline so sub-goals are met and the bigger vision stays in focus.
• Monitoring progress: work with our analytics team to track progress and find ways to improve.

3. Organizational excellence

• Digital architecture: own the project’s Slack channel and keep it organized with task trackers, onboarding guides, meeting notes and working documents.
• Operational flow: schedule co-working sessions, manage calendar invites and follow up on tasks to keep the momentum going.
• Sustainability: document the campaign’s history and status so no knowledge is lost and handovers go smoothly.

All of our campaign co-leads work together and support each other. You join a team of dedicated leaders who will help you settle into your role, show you how we work and support you throughout your time with us. In turn, you will support new co-leads as they join. It’s a team effort, and we all help each other succeed.

• An empathetic leader: you understand that our strength lies in our volunteers. You listen, support and encourage.
• A proactive communicator: you aren’t afraid to follow up on tasks, schedule 1:1 check-ins with volunteers or reach out to the team for support.
• Committed to solidarity: you are deeply aligned with our mission to support occupied peoples through independent, grassroots action.
