Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice - applications due 2/6/04

Dear SL colleagues,

Families USA is proud to announce the creation of the Wellstone Fellowship
for Social Justice to honor the late Senator Paul D. Wellstone of
Minnesota. Throughout his Senate career, Paul Wellstone was an advocate for
social justice and an outspoken champion for those who lacked a voice in
the national arena. The Wellstone Fellowship provides a unique opportunity
to honor Senator Wellstone's memory by promoting equity in health care.

The Wellstone Fellowship is a year-long, full-time, salaried position that
will begin in September 2004. The fellow will be engaged in health care
advocacy work in Families USA's office in Washington, D.C., where he or she
will learn about Medicare, Medicaid, efforts to achieve universal coverage,
and other important health policy issues. Specifically, the fellow will be
engaged in Families USA's outreach to and mobilization of communities of
color. Through this work, the fellow will also learn about conducting
health care campaigns, and part of his or her time will be spent working
with state-based health care advocacy organizations.

For instructions on how to apply and a copy of the application form, click
here http://www.familiesusa.org/site/R?i=8mAYVCOYPtcDRYvcWDDmjg. The
deadline for applications is February 6, 2004.

The ideal candidate will have an interest in social justice work and
working with communities or color. Additionally, they are looking for an
individual who displays the potential to continue to contribute to social
justice work after their year of hands-on experience as a fellow. There is
no bias in favor of any academic discipline, though they prefer that the
fellow have a college degree as of September 2004.
