Our Mission
At Crooked, we believe the answer to a rising authoritarian movement is a democratic movement powerful enough to fight it and (fingers crossed) defeat it.
That means using all the tools at our disposal as a media company to help build a massive, diverse coalition united behind a core set of democratic values: freedom, equality, compassion, and the rule of law.
Our Values
Innovative in how we reach people and grow the business
Inclusive in what we make and how we work together: respectful, accountable, and open-minded
Hopeful in seeking a more progressive and just society
Diversity & Inclusion
We believe a diverse staff helps us reach the wide swath of people we aim to connect with so that we can build a massive coalition who believes in democratic values. We welcome people from all walks of life that span gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, those with disabilities, and people who are neurodiverse. Crooked encourages interested candidates to apply for whatever role they qualify for. Our culture emphasizes that each individual should feel respected and valued for their unique contributions to our company.
