Yeah, I guess the only real answer here is to bite the bullet and just do it. I know on a rational level that I'm not lying and that I do actually have the qualifications and experience, so that'll have to be enough, somehow. I guess I can have my meltdown after I send the thing in.

I know there are no guarantees I'll get the job or anything. I'm not sure how many applications they're likely to get, but I might as well try. I mean, it would nearly double my income, which would vastly improve things for me. Money won't solve ALL my problems, but it sure would make a big dent. A lot more resources would become a lot more accessible.

SmileHere, it would require travel, but I actually enjoy that as long as I use methods of transportation that are accommodating of people with disabilities. (I have a large rant about how the TSA treats PWD's, but that's a different post altogether.) The position is based in New York City, but the posting says other locations possible. A lot of it could be done online or by phone, and I have extensive experience with that kind of remote organizing--right now, I'm third in command for about 1/3 of my state as a volunteer political organizer. This job would expand my range, but I'm okay with that.

And it's a group that specifically welcomes folks from marginalized groups to apply, so I definitely fit that bill. Lots of lived experience there.
