SNAP Announces 2008 Endorsements
SNAP has begun rolling out our endorsements for 2008, with several more to come.
We are proud to endorse the following candidates (mouse over for details):
Progressive Summer 2008: Be a SNAP Fellow!
The Summer 2008 application deadline has now passed, but we are still accepting applications on a rolling basis.
America is at a crossroads. The 2008 election presents an incredible opportunity to change the future of our country for the better. We can embark on a bold new progressive direction for our nation.
That change isn't going to come easy, or only with a new president. If we want really big change, we have to elect dozens of new progressive leaders to Congress next fall. Without a more progressive Congress, we're not going to see major initiatives to make trade fair, end the war, protect worker's rights and create universal healthcare get passed. We're going to have huge legislative battles in the next few years - but we can only win those if we focus on the fight ahead of us to expand our progressive majority this fall.
Students for a New American Politics (SNAP PAC) is funding fellowships to make it possible for all students to work on this vital election. We believe this funding is necessary to reduce the economic barriers that prevent too many students from taking internships and later careers in the progressive movement.
SNAP Fellows will be given full-time field organizing placements on key congressional campaigns across the country, working for progressive candidates who have been endorsed by SNAP and whom we believe can win and can use our help. Fellows will be full members of the campaign staff team, working as field organizers to help develop and implement field strategies necessary to recruit volunteers, identify and persuade supporters, and more.
The SNAP Fellowship covers housing, transportation to the campaign, and provides a stipend for living expenses of up to $2500, based on financial need.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to get serious hands-on organizing experience in the most important election of our lifetime!

Application deadline: March 31, 2008
Women, LGBT persons and people of color are especially encouraged to apply.
