>United for Peace and Justice, the largest antiwar coalition in the 
>U.S., seeks summer interns for organizing, outreach, research, and 
>more. The main focus of UFPJ's work is on ending the Iraq war and 
>bringing US troops home now. Our ongoing campaigns include efforts 
>to counter military recruitment, to challenge the use of National 
>Guards in the war, inform and educate the public, pressure Congress, 
>and organize a massive antiwar protest this September. Interns will 
>gain valuable experience while strengthening our coalition and 
>making UFPJ's September mobilization as successful as possible.
>
>Specific tasks will vary throughout the summer. Some administrative 
>work will apply, but we generally encourage our interns to take on 
>significant responsibility. The internship will include contacting 
>our many member groups and/or organizing other volunteers to do the 
>same. Interns may participate in recruiting new member groups, 
>particularly in key underrepresented constituencies; they may also 
>organize and/or participate in street outreach in New York City. 
>Other tasks may inlcude designing leaflets, developing educational 
>materials, and maintaining our database. Interns will work with our 
>organizers on staff and potentially with members of our national 
>Steering Committee.
