Description

Do you want to change the political landscape in this country? Do you want to launch your political career and run for office? Many politicians agree that you must start canvassing on the ground level first to enlist everyday people in change-making.

Grassroots Team is seeking a motivated and outgoing individual to join our team as a Canvasser.

As a Canvasser, you will be working to canvass door to door and on the street and fundraise on behalf of our amazing non-profit partner, Amnesty International of the USA.

We work together to fight for human rights, stand up to the gun lobby, and stop public health crises caused by the erosion of women's reproductive rights and the crisis at the border.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys sales, customer service, and engaging people in conversations on important issues.
