• willingness to engage with CLPN’s Rooted Reading List

• general values that align with CLPN’s community-focused mission/work such as anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-misogyny, solidarity, restorative justice, autonomy, equity, pro-Palestine, pro workers’ rights, pro immigrant rights, and allyship with the queer community

• bilingual language skills are a plus

• experience with nonprofit or mutual aid work is a plus

• experience in relevant work (marketing, outreach, research, graphic design, program development, education, or logistics) is a major plus
