Join the Team | Hiring

We are looking for mission-oriented collaborators, not those who just clock a shift. Current open positions are listed below. Hiring terms may be revised to fit skill set and needs of ideal candidates.

Ballot question positions are volunteer positions initially and are priority hires listed in red. The ballot question positions must initially be unpaid volunteer work, as pay is contingent on adequate donations to the ballot committee. When and if funds are available, then funds will be utilized to pay first for expenses and then, if additional funds are available, a stipend. Promises cannot be made because ballot funds are contingent on donations.

For the positions with the business, we are delaying hires as we are building monthly revenue to cover future salaries, although an equity partnership with a later buy back is possible for in-state applicants. Out-of-staters can apply, but can only be hired as in-state employees at an indefinite future date, contingent on financing.

We are an equal opportunity employer and focus on relevant abilities and character – not aspects such as outward appearance or personal leanings.

How to Apply: Send resume & cover letter expressing interest in a PLAIN TEXT attachment or in the body to protonmail (using pm.me) and LastTreeLaws as the name. Attachments other than plain text will not be opened.
