Network 2.0 Fellowship Applications are Officially Open!

The Roosevelt Network is opening applications for two undergraduate fellowship experiences: the Roosevelt in Washington Fellowship and the Emerging Fellowship.

https://rooseveltinstitute.org/roosevelt-network/undergraduate-fellowships/

If you’ve ever wanted to witness how policy is researched, debated, designed, and advocated for in the real world, then Roosevelt in Washington is for you!

If you’re a public policy wonk, contemplating pursuing a policy-related graduate degree, or looking for an independent research opportunity, check out the Emerging Fellowship!

Both opportunities are PAID, include MENTORSHIP, and you’ll LEVEL-UP your credentials for a career in the progressive movement. Current Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are eligible to apply (current seniors only eligible for Emerging).

Have Questions? Join us for an information session tomorrow 11/16 at 12:00pmEST or 6:00pmEST

We’re in Hyde Park for the Forge Fellowship retreat weekend!

There’s no better place to learn from the Roosevelt Legacy and feel connected to all the Network alumni who have been here before.

Have you heard about Network 2.0 yet!?

This evolution situates the Network as the entry point of the Roosevelt Institute’s progressive pipelining project.

As the entry point for the organization’s new pipeline development plans, Network 2.0 is a revamped model for supporting and training undergraduate college students and early career professionals—centering those who hold identities historically denied political power.

Network 2.0 will:
- Provide transformative Fellowships for current undergraduate students
- Reposition alumni as participants of the Network rather than graduates of it
- Build Roosevelters’ capacity to be in deep community with one another: to call on their fellow Roosevelters for lifelong personal and professional support

- Welcome
- Happy Hour
- Alumni Panel
- Community Building Activity
- Strategic Planning Update

Fighting for economic justice must involve fixing our tax system so the rich and wealthy pay their fair share.

The tax would have hit 700 billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, compelling them to pay a chunk of their wealth to the federal government.

Handouts to fossil fuels have no place in climate policy.

"Congress and the president should not throw frontline communities living with fossil fuel extraction and climate crisis under the bus to get this bill across the finish line."

“I worry that not everybody sees the threats to our democracy as threatening as they actually are, which will be the demise and peril of our democracy if we don’t take these threats seriously,” Kyle Strickland.

How can we center the role of race in our economic policy and in our politics in a way that will drive real change? Kyle Strickland, the deputy director of race and democracy at the Roosevelt Institute, explains how our leaders have fallen under the sway of racial liberalism, which focuses solely on...

“Another weekend in America: American workers died on the job during an environmental disaster, while others literally scrambled on the floor for cash.”

Including Amazon workers dying in tornados and teachers competing Squid Game-style.
