“If the people speak loudly, Congress must listen”- President Obama

In the most recent election, 5 donors spent close to $94 million to defeat progressive candidates. It didn’t work, but only because the progressive community got individuals involved in the political process.  Progressives raised over $216 million from thousands of people donating $200 or less, this worked.

Most Americans support issues like same sex marriage, protecting the wild places of earth, and womens reproductive health. However, these issues stall because of a very well-funded and vocal minority. 

To counter these measures and compete with powerful corporations, Grassroots Campaigns is working to build a movement that speaks for reason, equality, and human dignity in our political process.  That is why we are hiring Assistant Canvass Directors to run issue based campaigns throughout the United States. 

Canvass Directors and Assistant Directors will work as a team to manage one of our fundraising campaign offices, to build community support, educate the public and recruit new members for one of the progressive organizations or charities we partner with.

Recruit a team of 10-40 canvassers to represent top issue based organizations on the front lines of the progressive movement.
