Campaign Organizer- Scottsbluff, NE

Campaign Organizer

We are hiring a full-time Campaign Organizer to begin by the end of August and continue through Election Day. The locations are Scottsbluff, North Platte, Grand Island, Hastings, Alliance, Chadron, and Norfolk. This will expand over the program, so if you are a Nebraskan who lives further away, please still apply!

The Outreach Team is the national engine of campaigners and organizers building a fairer, cleaner, safer, and more peaceful world. We invest in people at every level with industry-leading pay/benefits, rigorous training and support and real paths to leadership.

Neighbor, it's your time to step up for Nebraska. We need your love for our state and its people, your skills earned from years of hard work, and your ability to connect with other Nebraskans. Frankly, it's the only way we are going to pry back our government and economy from the billionaires who have taken over. The good news is that there are more of us than there are of them.

We just need to harness our power… conversation by conversation, on every porch, corner, driveway, sidewalk, field, and farm in Nebraska. And we need you to lead the charge. Join us on behalf of the Working Class Majority Pac.

We are looking for Organizers to talk to voters about Dan Osborn's run for Senate in Nebraska's upcoming election. If you believe that real political power is built from the ground up through deep organizing and face-to-face conversations, we want you on our team in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. Organizers will be charged with recruiting, training, and working with a team of volunteers in key counties in Nebraska.

The Organizer will start by building and recruiting a team of supporters and volunteers around canvassing. From there, Organizers will continue to engage volunteers through a series of campaign events and actions.
