Employment Opportunities

As we move together, imagining and building a more liberated and affirming future, we believe it is critical to acknowledge the many immediate needs our community has and to share opportunities that may meet these needs.

With that in mind, we have decided to start sharing employment opportunities and economic empowerment events that freedom fighters in our state are organizing to promote black and POC businesses, share skills and resources, and hold space for collective entrepreneurship and community based economic development.

Contained in this first email you will find job opportunities from PREST (People for Racial and Ethnicity Studies Today), Everyday Democracy, and the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund along with Kibwe Nia's upcoming "Power Of The Black Dollar" event in New Haven.

If you have job opportunities or economic empowerment events you'd like us to include in a future email, please send them to erica@ctcore-organizenow.org.

In solidarity and black love,

Camelle
