If you’re also open to being on-camera to create pro-democracy content, even better. CAUTION: We value hard work and integrity. If you’re not reliable or you don’t take pride in what you do, we’ll know right away! So, please don’t apply. We’re building something real and need a partner who wants to be crazy successful.
