Further, we are looking for people who want to use their power for good and we advocate as a business for pro-social/inclusive policies with elected officials and to bring awareness to our team. We believe in a woman's right to choose, that everyone deserves to be able to easily vote, that guns should be regulated with at least the same laws applicable to car ownership (licensing and insurance), that we should be vaccinated and wear masks during a pandemic, that white supremacy is a past and growing problem, that humans are responsible for climate change and that it presents a clear and present danger to life on this earth. If those concepts don't align with your worldview, we may not be the employer for you.

​Our Benefits Package Includes:

• Employee (not contractor) status at an exciting, socially-minded company
• Option to participate in medical, dental and vision insurance programs (we pay a large portion of the basic plan premium)
