Vote Blue is a field firm specializing in face-to-face canvassing operations. At Vote Blue, we mobilize voters to get to the polls. Our field campaigns have provided the margin of victory in close elections at the local, state, and national levels. Trump and Republicans at all levels of government are stomping on our rights, making everything unaffordable so a few billionaires can get even richer, and dismantling the very fabric of our nation.

Vote Blue’s sole focus is on mobilizing and engaging voters to participate in the elections this fall and fight back at the ballot box. With reproductive rights under attack, you can be the voice for the future!

Organizers will be charged with recruiting, training, and working with a team of volunteers in key counties in Iowa to drive base building in a massive push for corporate polluter accountability. Campaign Organizers will engage constituents around corporate accountability, health care, big ag, affordability, and action opportunities. The Organizer will start by building and recruiting a team of supporters and volunteers around canvassing and petitions.

From there, Organizers will continue to engage volunteers through a series of campaign events and actions. In the fall, Organizers will help drive signees to electoral work and results. At the end of the campaign, Organizers will debrief with volunteers and community contacts to share information for how to stay involved with corporate accountability action in their communities.
