Job Description
UNITE HERE Philadelphia is hiring dedicated individuals into paid positions for our full-time Organizer Training and Canvassing Program. We are seeking students and activists from across the social justice movement who are committed to building the labor movement and working-class political power, defeating Donald Trump in November, and stopping the spread of fascism in the United States.
[UNITE HERE Philadelphia](https://www.uniteherephilly.org/) ran the largest door-knocking canvass in Pennsylvania in 2022, and our hustle made the difference in both the gubernatorial race and keeping control of the U.S. Senate. We are aiming to go even bigger this year. Our strategy is simple: we engage people on the doors through deep canvassing and win, one conversation at a time.
The 2024 Organizer Training and Canvassing Program will include:
- Daily door-to-door canvassing in working-class communities of color to get out the vote for pro-worker candidates.
- Training on labor history, labor law, and the process for organizing workers.
- Presentations by movement leaders who have led workplace organizing campaigns, as well as other campaigns for social justice, with Q and A and discussion breakout groups, as well as racial, gender and economic justice workshops.
- Individual leadership and skill development plans for each participant with 1-1 mentorship throughout.
- Regular Role play training on skills including storytelling, agitation around issues, inspiring folks to act, effective follow up, use of mobile technology and data, and communications.
- Street actions.
We are seeking people who are willing to work long hours and have ability to work a flexible schedule.
**Are you ready?** Please apply directly [here](https://unitehere.jotform.com/241104627002036):
