Check
out the ongoing canvass director job description.
Candidates will also have the opportunity to work
on the MoveOn.Org Voter Registration Project.
The path to victory in 2008 could come down to
just a few thousand votes, and growing our electorate and turning
them out to the polls could make that difference. So Grassroots
Campaigns is teaming up with MoveOn.org Political Action to expand
the 2008 voting base. We’ve opened dozens of offices in 12
key swing states to register tens of thousands of 18 to 29 year
olds before the voter registration deadlines. Hundreds of canvassers
will hit the streets to register these voters who could make the
difference in an Obama win.

Profile : Alex Beauchamp
Carleton College '06
Started: Election Field Staff, DNC and MoveOn.org (June '06 - Nov.
'06)
Current Position: Lead Organizer, Progressive Voter Network (Nov.
'06 - present)
During
my last couple of terms at Carleton College, I began to think seriously
about campaigning as a career. I’d been interning for Amy
Klobuchar’s campaign for US Senate in Minnesota for around
nine months, working closely with a couple of her field organizers
to plan campaign events and recruit and train volunteers. The more
field work I did, the more I realized how effective on the ground
organizing is, and I began to look for ways to continue this type
of work after graduation.
Following graduation in June of 2006, I accepted a two-part position
with Grassroots Campaigns as an Election Field Organizer. I started
as an assistant director in a fundraising campaign office for the
Democratic National Committee. I was part of a national effort that
raised millions of dollars to give the Democrats the strength they
needed to take back Congress.
When fall rolled around, I became an organizer
on the Call for Change campaign with MoveOn.org Political Action’s
ground-breaking get out the vote campaign. A week into that campaign
I had the opportunity to move to Boulder, Colorado and become the
Lead Organizer in that office. I managed two organizers, and with
them, recruited and trained hundreds of volunteers to get out the
vote and make sure that Democrats took back both houses of Congress.
Since the 2006 elections, I have been working
as a Lead Organizer with the Progressive Voter Network, creating
a network of active citizens who will hold their legislators accountable
in between elections and work to take back the White House this
fall..
