Public Citizen
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF POSITION: Public Citizen’s Congress Watch division seeks a People Over Pentagon Advocate to help lead federal lobbying and advocacy campaigns to block proposed increases in Pentagon funding and reallocate public money from endless war to addressing human needs. The United States spends more on the military than the next nine countries combined – and new White House proposals for 2026 and 2027 would increase Pentagon funding by $600 billion more. This funding should instead be invested in priority human needs, including health care, climate action, education, poverty alleviation, and more. The People Over Pentagon Advocate will play a central role in advancing Public Citizen's People Over Pentagon legislative agenda through strategic advocacy, lobbying, policy analysis, coalition building, and communications to drive congressional opposition to Pentagon budget increases – and ultimately, congressional support for cuts to the Pentagon budget.
The People Over Pentagon Advocate will report to the People Over Pentagon Campaign Director and work closely with the Congress Watch Director and Managing Director. The position will also work closely with the People Over Pentagon coalition, a broad network of civil society organizations, researchers, academics, and policymakers.
Specific Duties:
Public Citizen is an equal opportunity employer. People of color, women, LGBTQ+ candidates are encouraged to apply.
