 Help Win on Key Issues Now and Build the Foundation for Victory in 2008! Now Hiring Progressive Voter Network Field Organizers and Leadership Staff! In just a few short months, Americans will vote to determine the next President.The outcome of this election will determine what we can do as a nation. If we want to combat global warming, increase access to higher education, provide healthcare for all Americans, end corruption in Washington, and change course in Iraq, we must expand our majorities in Congress and take back the White House! The November 2006 midterm election was an exciting step forward for progressives; but much work remains. Only by electing leaders who share our priorities that we can ensure progress on the issues that really matter. Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. is hiring Field Organizers and Leadership Staff to work on our Progressive Voter Network to build local networks of concerned volunteers and voters in targeted Congressional districts in Presidential swing states.The volunteers in each network will hone their skills between elections by working on progressive issue campaigns.These networks of seasoned volunteers will be the leaders in a cutting edge voter drive to take back the White House in 2008! We are looking for passionate, dedicated, responsible people who are willing to work hard to achieve positive change.Experience with campaigns, building and leading groups, and recruiting and training volunteers is preferred, but not necessary. Field Organizer Job Responsibilities: Field Organizers will work in targeted congressional districts to recruit, train, and manage these crucial networks of volunteers. Specifically, Field Organizers will: - Recruit volunteers through phone calls, emails, individual interactions and community events.
- Train volunteers in key organizing skills, including organizing a district meeting with their member of congress, holding a press conference in their district or generating grassroots support on a particular issue.
- Manage and mobilize volunteers by meeting weekly with lead volunteers to plan upcoming campaign tactics in their district, ongoing volunteer recruitment and training.
