This project will be led by an award-winning independent filmmaker, who is also an A.N.S.W.E.R. organizer. It will be a great opportunity to learn about politics, organizing and filmmaking. Please note in your application if you are interested in working on this project.

ABOUT THE A.N.S.W.E.R. COALITION
A.N.S.W.E.R. has been key in organizing the historic anti-war demonstrations of the last 5 years. A.N.S.W.E.R.’s national steering committee represents groups that have campaigned against U.S. intervention in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, and for social and economic justice for workers and poor people in the U.S. A.N.S.W.E.R. is the leading anti-imperialist coalition in the U.S. anti-war movement and a major organization in the growing immigrant rights movement. We defend revolutionary Cuba and the Bolivarian process in Venezuela.
A.N.S.W.E.R. counts dozens of international affiliates. From the inception of the coalition, our strategy has been to link with movements in other countries, to create, sustain and expand a united front of local, national and international dissent and opposition to the U.S. government and corporate elite's drive for racist war and occupation and more assaults on civil liberties.
BUILDING COMMUNITY ACTIVIST LEADERS
A.N.S.W.E.R.’s internship program includes a mentoring system and programs to raise awareness among activists of historical and current political developments, fighting racism and bigotry, the struggle for self-determination for oppressed peoples and how these issues affect our society and impact the overall struggle for peace and social justice.

Yes! Work for ANSWER this summer and get your name on a "Do Not Hire" list for the next 20 years. Folks, seriously; working for the Workers World Party probably isn't a great idea if you any plans to make a career in teaching, research, government work, government-contract work, military contract work, OR if you have any intention of getting ANY sort of security clearance in the future. You never know where life will lead, but ANSWER will lead you into the shithole. AVOID these people at all costs. They are not looking out for you.
