Subject: Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice in health care

>
> http://www.familiesusa.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Wellstone_Fellowship_index
> Families USA, a national nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to
> the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for  all Americans,
> is accepting applications for the Wellstone Fellowship for Social Justice.
> The Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to honor the memory of the
> late Senator Paul D. Wellstone by fostering the advancement of social
> justice through participation in health care advocacy work that focuses on
> the unique challenges facing many communities of color. The goals of the
> Wellstone Fellowship Program are three-fold:
>
>          1. To address disparities in access to health care;
>          2. To inspire Wellstone Fellows to continue to work for social
> justice throughout their lives; and
>          3. To increase the number and racial and ethnic diversity of
> up-and-coming social justice advocates and leaders.
>
> Through this Fellowship, Families USA hopes to expand the pool of talented
> social justice advocates from underrepresented racial and ethnic minority
> groups, particularly from the Black/African American, Latino, and American
> Indian communities.
>
> The Wellstone Fellowship is a year-long, full-time, salaried position. The
> term for the next Fellow will begin in August 2005. 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. At the same time, the
> Wellstone Fellow will learn about conducting health care campaigns through
> communication and collaboration with our network of state grassroots
> advocates and organizations.
>
> The ideal candidate will express an interest in social justice work and in
> working with communities or color. Additionally, we are looking for an
> individual who displays the potential to continue to contribute to social
> justice work after their year of hands-on experience. There is no bias in
> favor of any academic discipline, although we prefer that the fellow have a
> college degree as of August 2005.
>
> I encourage you to forward this announcement on to any students or alumni
> who you feel would be interested in this opportunity. For more information
> about Families USA and the Wellstone Fellowship, including a description of
> the fellowship and the application process, as well as an online
> application, please click on the link below.

> Please do not hesitate to contact me at 202-628-3030 or at
