About FiNC
We're assembling a coalition to change how politics works. Forever. Everything is an angle now. Every call is a scam, every app is running a play on you, and when something actually goes wrong there's nobody to call. Everyone you can reach has no power. Everyone with power is unreachable. FiNC (The Future is Now Coalition) is citizens, candidates, and communities who all landed on the same thing: the system isn't broken, it's rigged, and it's working exactly as it was built to work.
3 middlemen decide which candidates you ever hear about: big money, party gatekeepers, and media manipulation. They control the money, the access, and the visibility every candidate needs to win. So they decide who wins before anyone votes, and good people run for office and stay invisible. Once you know it's there, you see it everywhere. Each move looks like a one-off: a sudden outrage, a single bad vote, a new crisis to react to. But they're the same 5 rigged patterns, repeating. Spotting them is what the Digital Politics Lens is for.
Most of what we want, we want together: safer neighborhoods, schools that work, a shot at getting ahead, a government that listens. Left and right is the argument you were handed. The deeper question that matters is which way your leader is facing: up toward the people who fund them, or down toward the people who elected them.
Here's why this can work when nothing else has. Every movement, third party, and reform group is pushing against the same status quo, and all of them are pushing alone. They were all trying to win. We're assembling the thing they all stand under. Citizens say what they care about, candidates say who they are, and the 2 sides connect with nobody in between. The coalition is the product. The DP Hub at hub.futureis.org is a tool that supports it, not the thing we're selling. Both are early: the DP Hub is live and close to empty, and the coalition is small. That's not the weak part of the pitch. Growing it is the job. Our work is the human side: outreach, PR, social, and citizen buy-in. Not tech: that mostly exists already, spread across other civic groups. What's missing is the coalition.
We're not marketing a website. We're campaigning for a better way to choose leaders. We're also built closer to a cooperative than a traditional nonprofit. Team members here are partners and co-architects, not employees. We can't change the rules yet, so we're changing the game. Join our coalition. Change how politics works. Forever.
How We're Building
To stay independent and free of conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we're Crowd-Starting FiNC: building it together, from the ground up. In this early phase, contributor roles are not immediately paid. We ask team members for roughly 15 to 20 hours a week. Our goal is to bring contributors into paid, full-time roles once FiNC is financially able to support them. That is our intention and the direction we're working toward, and relies on the success of each team member doing their part to fulfill our specific goals.

About the role
FiNC is looking for 2 Content Writers to sit at the core of our messaging. These are the people who explain what we're building, in language that stays clear without going shallow. This role is copy-first. You'll work alongside graphic designers, other writers, and content creators. Your job is the language: the voice, the framing, and the explanations everything else gets built on.
Responsibilities
- Evergreen content (most of the job)
- Write evergreen explainer pages that answer one question all the way down: what money in politics actually buys, who the establishment is, what representation really means, and what we're doing about all of it
- Longer than a blog, heavier on visuals (via our Graphic Designers), updated as the work moves, and eventually interactive
- Write the pages themselves, start to finish
- Turn each one into video scripts and short posts so the same idea travels past the page
- Come back and update them as our language and our work evolve
- Website and Digital Politics Hub copy
- Rewrite what's live now: homepage, landing pages, section copy, buttons, and the short lines that decide whether someone stays or leaves
- Keep the website and the Digital Politics Hub saying the same thing in the same voice
- Blogs
- Timely pieces tied to what's happening right now
- Same craft as Evergreen, aimed at the moment instead of the long haul
- Social copy, occasionally
- Captions, hooks, headlines, and CTAs when the team needs them
- Support work here, not the main job
Requirements
- 3+ years writing explainers, long-form marketing, editorial, or narrative-driven campaigns (or equivalent)
- Nice to have, not required: experience running a content initiative, setting standards, or mentoring other writers
- A strong conceptual writer who can make complex ideas simple without making them shallow
- Skilled at structure, rhythm, and persuasion: you can hold a long argument together and you can still write tight
- Comfortable writing for the page and for the ear. An article and a script are different jobs and you can do both
- You know when a picture beats a paragraph, and you can brief a designer on what it needs to show
- Collaborative and proactive: you take ownership, communicate clearly, and iterate fast
- Mission-aligned, with the ability to write in a way that feels human, credible, and energizing
Why this role matters
Most people never get a clear explanation of how politics actually works, because nobody in the current system gains from giving them one. Evergreen is our answer to that. You'll write the pages citizens send to a friend when they're trying to explain why they joined.
