About FiNC
We’re upgrading how America chooses its leaders.
Right now, three middlemen decide which candidates you ever hear about: big money, party gatekeepers, and media manipulation. They control the money, the access, and the visibility every candidate needs to win. Good candidates are everywhere: teachers, veterans, small business owners, community leaders who genuinely want to represent people. The system is just built to keep them invisible.
FiNC is cutting out the middleman. Think of us as a matchmaker for civic life: we connect citizens to the candidates who actually want to represent them, the movements working on what they care about, and the people building the same world they want. No gatekeeper deciding who you get to choose from.
We don’t pick sides. FiNC is the referee, not a player. Not left, not right, just representation.
The DP Hub (hub.futureis.org) is live now: candidate profiles, a Civic Tags system that lets candidates define themselves beyond party labels, citizen priority surveys, and growing Candidate Discovery. Movements and communities are our biggest growth engine right now, because they bring the citizens candidates want to reach.
What makes this work isn’t just the technology. FiNC’s core focus is the human side: outreach, PR, social media, and building citizen buy-in. We’re not marketing a website. We’re campaigning for a better way to choose leaders. Every candidate with a profile and every movement that plugs in benefits from that ongoing work.
And the system is built so everyone lifts everyone. When a candidate shares their profile, citizens who click through discover other candidates. When a movement drives people to the DP Hub, those citizens find candidates aligned with their values. A different incentive structure than anywhere else in politics.
Our structure matters: FiNC is building something akin to a cooperative-style nonprofit where team members are partners and co-architects in a mission to rebuild how American democracy works.
If you’re ready to help build the civic infrastructure America never got, with citizens and not gatekeepers, step in.

IMPORTANT: How We’re Building: Crowd-Starting FiNC – Please read carefully
To stay independent and free of conflicts of interest, we are not accepting investors or financing that comes with strings attached. Instead, we’re Crowd-Starting FiNC: building it together, from the ground up.
In this early phase, contributor roles are not immediately paid. We ask team members for roughly 15 to 20 hours a week. Our goal is to bring contributors into paid, full-time roles once FiNC is financially able to support them.
That is our intention and the direction we’re working toward, and relies on the success of each team member doing their part to fulfill our specific goals.
This is a build-it-together model, not a job in the usual sense. It asks for belief in the mission and a willingness to help build before all the resources are in place. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. The people who thrive here want to help build something that doesn’t exist yet.

Job Description
FiNC is looking for 1-2 Junior Copywriters with a real feel for social media. This is an entry-level, hands-on role focused on the short, scroll-stopping copy that lives on social: captions, hooks, carousel copy, YouTube descriptions, and the occasional blog.
You’ll work directly under our content strategist, alongside other copywriters. They handle the deeper, longer-form messaging. Your job is to take the surface of the mission (the everyday, relatable issues people already care about) and turn it into copy that catches attention and gets shared. You’ll learn the mission as you go.
We care more about instinct than resume. If you know how to make a Gen Z audience stop scrolling, whether you’ve done it professionally or just have a knack for it on your own accounts, we want to hear from you.
What you’ll do
- Write short-form social copy: captions, hooks, headlines, CTAs, and carousel posts
- Write YouTube and short-video descriptions, and platform-native copy for TikTok, Instagram, and Shorts
- Pitch in on blogs and longer pieces occasionally, as you grow
- Engage with audiences through comments and replies when needed, to build trust and momentum
- Work with the content, design, and outreach team so copy matches the visuals and the campaign
What we’re looking for
- A strong feel for social media and what makes people stop, read, and share
- Some experience writing for social: personal, professional, or anywhere in between. You don’t need years of agency work
- An eye for tone and culture across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X-style threads
- Clear, punchy writing: you can say a lot in a few words
- Eager to learn the mission and grow into bigger pieces over time
- Reliable, open to feedback, and quick to iterate
Why this role matters
The short copy is the front door. It’s the first thing most people ever see of FiNC, and it’s what decides whether they stick around. Get someone to stop scrolling, and you’ve started the whole journey.
