[Unicum] Looking for Family Day Care/Nanny

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good family day care in Silver Spring. I am a first time mom and looking for childcare for my baby starting in July. If you know of a good in-home childcare provider, I would appreciate if you could let me know.

Alternatively, I am also interested in connecting with people who are interested in nanny sharing or if you know of a Hungarian-speaking nanny who is available from July, please reach out to me.

Thank you,

Marta

(Career Progress) PAID NW/NE POLL WORKERS NEEDED TUESDAY! (stop a closeted Tea Partier city council candidate)

4/27 Literature Distribution: $10/hour

4/28 Poll Worker: $8.50/hour

Ward 4 Map: http://ancdc.us/Ward4%202013%20ANCs%20and%20SMDs.pdf

(includes Petworth, Takoma Park, Friendship Heights etc)

Hey job seekers and part-time activists,

I am helping a Ward 4 candidate with over a decade of experience with urban issues defeat Brandon Todd, the misguided choice of some elites as frontrunner to win Muriel Bowser's city council seat tomorrow and thought i would share an easy way to make a difference in the race while making some extra cash in the process.

From what I have seen from some canvassing and metro flyering the last few days, my candidate is the only one making a serious field push but they need all the help they can get to cover all polling places on Tuesday and do some door-to-door literature distribution today and tonight.

This is so critical because Todd is Ward 4 Dems Chair and Constituent Services Director for Muriel Bowser so he has been well-funded.....even though his reputation for responding to community needs is not very good and if you visit his facebook page you can scroll through his Likes to see a who's who of rightwingers he supports even though he became a Democrat: https://www.facebook.com/BTT2012

(i.e. Bill O'Reilly, Karl Rove, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Glenn Beck, Allen West, Laura Ingraham, Rand Paul)

Unfortunately, he was endorsed by the Washington Post editorial board but as you can see this endorsement was so lazy that they didn't have any concern over his support for wacko Republicans and they didn't bother to mention any of the other candidates:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/endorsements-for-the-dc-council-special-election/2015/04/12/0ce88eca-dfb4-11e4-be40-566e2653afe5_story.html

PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP IF YOU WANT TO HELP AND IF YOU CAN VOTE OR TELL YOUR WARD 4 FRIENDS TO VOTE AGAINST BRANDON TODD!

IF THEY'RE NOT A DC VOTER THEY CAN REGISTER AT THEIR POLLING PLACE AND THEN JOIN THE CAUSE OF DC AUTONOMY!

(Career Progress) Change Corps Development Director

Change Corps seeks an experienced fundraiser and external relations director to develop and oversee our fundraising efforts and campaign partnership outreach. Change Corps is a group of experienced organizers who understand that new organizers need a place to start, learn, and make their mark. The Associate Director will be an integral part of our team, driving forward our training program through fundraising and organizational building efforts, increasing Change Corps' effectiveness and visibility, strengthening our partnerships, and advancing our mission. Reporting to and in partnership with the Executive Director, the Associate Director will spearhead development efforts as Change Corps continues to grow. A new position in a fast growing organization, the Director will have the opportunity to build the development and campaign partnership functions at Change Corps.

Change Corps is a field academy for new organizers. We partner with some of the nation's top social change organizations. This spring, organizers are working with Everytown for Gun Safety to advocate for background checks and safer gun laws that will save lives. And this past fall, organizers worked with MoveOn.org to turn out voters to the polls this election and lift up candidates for the Senate who support women's health. Organizers work on 3-5 campaigns during the year, and our activists move around to where they are needed most. We seek an experienced fundraiser who will help raise the money to build our power and program.

Responsibilities:

Develop and execute Change Corps' annual fundraising plan by building lasting relationships in the funder community. Build resources for our work through foundations, major donors, event planning and other grassroots fundraising opportunities.
Secure financial support from individuals, foundations and small donors.
Train and develop Change Corps staff who will assist with fundraising efforts. Assist staff in designing and implementing personal fundraising strategies.
Design and create marketing materials, social media, and advertising campaigns as part of our overall fundraising mission. Strategize opportunities for brand marketing and expand the target audience of Change Corps through community relations, speaking engagements, and visibility events.
Develop and line up Change Corps' campaign partnerships plan by building lasting relationships in the progressive community with future campaign partner organizations.
Develop and maintain ongoing relationships with major donors, Executive Directors and Political Directors.
Create and execute a strategy for maintaining a list of a large, sustained base of members.
Oversee the organization of special events.
Write and track proposals and reports for all foundation and grant fundraising.

Qualifications:

Candidates must have at least 3-4 years of organizing and fundraising experience, including community organizing, campus organizing, campaign coordination, grant writing, or coalition building. The ideal candidate is passionate about community organizing and movement building and has a track record of accomplishments. Fundraising experience, either through grants or through grassroots organizing, is necessary. Strong experience working in or with coalitions is a plus. Persuasive writing, strong verbal communication and the ability to interact at the executive level are key qualifications for a successful Associate Director.

Salary and Benefits:

Salary for this position is commensurate with the relevant professional experience and/or advanced degrees that a candidate has. A competitive benefits package includes health care coverage; parental leave; educational loan assistance; retirement plan; as well as paid holidays, vacation, and sick days. Opportunities for advancement, travel, and additional training are available.

To Apply: Apply here: http://www.workforprogress.org/component/content/article/1-main-content/144. Direct your application to Ryan Doyle, Change Corps Executive Director. We'll carefully consider your application and if we think you're a good fit, we'll be in touch.
