Location and Timeline:

We are hiring Digital Organizers for this position beginning August 12 and ending on December 13, 2024. Organizers will be based in Phoenix, AZ and Philadelphia, PA. Preference will be given to organizers that can be geo-flexible as the campaign progresses.

Who We Are:

The Outreach Team is the national engine of campaigners and organizers powering the young-people vote movement.

General Overview:

We are currently seeking Digital Organizers to engage young people around abortion rights ahead of the 2024 General Election. Organizers will recruit and train volunteers on college campuses who mobilize their networks to share content via relational organizing tools to create an online echo chamber of memes and other shareable content that drive home the core messages of elected leaders and organizations fighting for abortion rights and other critical issues. Come October, organizers and their volunteers will leverage their relationships and mobilize their communities to launch a Get Out The Vote operation through Election Day 2024 - work which the digital organizer will be promoting using social media, relational organizing tools, as well as the recruitment and training of volunteers to engage in GOTV activities.
