Jobs to Win Back the White House (apply online) Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. is currently interviewing
candidates nationwide for positions as Canvass Directors, Assistant
Directors, Field Organizers and Field Manager positions. To apply,
fill out our online
application. 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. __________________________________________________________________________ Staff
Profile : Alex Beauchamp
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.. __________________________________________________________________________ |

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.
