General Overview:

Organizers will be charged with recruiting, training, and working with a team of volunteers in their local communities to drive action for electoral reform.

This system keeps power in the hands of a few rather than the many. Campaign Organizers will engage constituents around democracy reform and action opportunities in their communities. The Organizer will receive a fresh list of volunteer leads daily who they will work to engage on actions that build support for two ballot initiatives that would make government more transparent and create an open primary in the state. Organizers will also work to engage VIPs, stakeholders and community advocacy groups to endorse and support the statewide initiatives.

  • Demonstrate public support by recruiting volunteers to post on their own social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
  • Use peer-to-peer texting services and relational organizing tools to communicate with community members.
