Political Organizing Jobs Available with Grassroots Campaigns

From Grassroots Campaigns:

We work with progressive candidates and advocacy groups (like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood) to help increase the average person’s knowledge of and investment in key progressive issues like civil rights and environmental protection.

Right now, we’re interviewing graduating seniors to join our teams as Assistant Canvass Directors. 

This is a full-time, paid, entry-level position. This is a challenging job; if you work with us you’ll be expected to take on a lot of responsibility right away, including managing staff and helping to launch new campaigns.
