More Perfect Union is expanding our coverage of sports stories reported through an economic justice lens. Issues we’re interested in include the monopoly power of sports governing bodies, efforts to organize players unions, the wealth and power of team owners and anything else that sits at the nexus of sports and corporate greed.

The position requires a high level of self-sufficiency, strong collaboration and communication skills, and a desire to help develop and grow our brand.
