Subject: Career Opportunities for Graduating Seniors
In the last seven years, we've seen a lot of big changes
in this country. After helping elect Barack Obama, progressive leaders and
activists were able to implement the largest change in healthcare availability
in over 100 years. We've seen marriage equality go from 6 states to the entire
nation. We've seen Hawaii become the first state to ban plastic grocery bags,
and three states ban fracking. That's a great start, but there's a lot of work
left to do. It's still legal in 29 states to fire someone from their job just
because of their sexual orientation. Women's reproductive healthcare is under
constant attack,threatening access to basic healthcare services for millions of
American women. The effects of global climate change are becoming more
pronounced and severe, and time to do anything about it is running out.
Grassroots Campaigns is a national, progressive political
consulting firm specializing in running face‐to‐face field campaigns. Over the
next year, our activists will reach millions of people all across the country
to talk about the issues and call those people to action, inspiring millions to
act by giving donations, time, and energy to top organizations working on the
issue. We're currently partnering with groups like the ACLU, The Nature
Conservancy, Doctors Without Borders, and many others. In 2016, we'll also be
working in key states across the country to elect candidates who will advance
progressive issues.
We're Hiring! Grassroots Campaigns is looking to
interview interested students to join our teams as Canvass Directors and
Assistant Canvass Directors. We're already running campaigns in major cities
across the country, and we'll be launching new projects in places like
Minnesota, Florida, Texas, and Arizona as we build towards 2016. There is no
better time get involved and shape the next generation of activists that will
take this country in a more progressive direction and see change on issues that
matter now. Alex will be on College Park campus from December 1st to 3rd
meeting with interested candidates and holding interviews. Students who are
interested should contact Alex directly:
