WEPOWER: East St. Louis Power Building Fellow

East St. Louis Power Building Fellow

WEPOWER is building a team full of dreamers and doers. Since launching in 2018, we have won $17 million+ in public funding for early childhood education. We have led, supported, and won local and statewide ballot measures that have created dedicated and recurring childcare funding, raised the minimum wage, and mandated paid sick leave. We deployed nearly $1 million in capital and provided coaching and connections to 100+ Black and Latinx businesses. We trained 450+ community members on grassroots organizing, running for office, and designing policy and systems change agendas. We envision a future where systems are accountable to powerful communities that have been historically oppressed and nurture our freedom, well-being, dreams, and joy. We are building a powerful movement led by everyday people, and we have bold plans to get us there. Join us!
