Vote Blue’s mission is to mobilize progressive voters to get to the polls in the 2020 election using door-to-door canvassing.
We are currently seeking Canvass Directors to join us on an important and exciting campaign to provide the strategic field operation necessary to win this fall. We are hiring for multiple Lead Director and Deputy Director positions.
There is so much at stake in this election. As we have seen over the last 4 years, leadership in government matters more than ever. Nearly 200,000 Americans have died of COVID19, and Donald Trump is on the record saying that he intentionally withheld information about it and downplayed its severity. Millions of acres are currently burning in wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California in one of the largest natural disasters in history. We need our government proactively addressing climate change, not trying to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to new oil drilling. Systemic racism is real and clearly at the forefront of our collective daily lives. Yet as more Black people are shot or killed by police, Donald Trump and Republicans stoke racial tension for political gain. We need a change in leadership, and we need it fast.
The election on November 3 will be the most important of our lifetimes. Very likely, this race will decide which party controls the Senate. The key to winning is a strong ground game.
Canvass Directors will recruit, train, and manage a team of local canvassers to go door-to-door in strategic locations and speak with voters about their voting plans. Additionally, the Lead Campaign Director will manage a team of one or more Deputy Directors, and will be responsible for building an office to scale from the ground up. This position reports to the Project Director.
COVID-19 has altered the political landscape, but one thing remains the same - we will need to have in-person conversations with people to get out the vote. Thankfully, we can do this with low risk. We will provide PPE and substantial health and safety training, and we have developed a canvassing protocol that will allow us to do this critical work while keeping our staff and the people in our communities safe.
We are hiring immediately. This position runs through November 3, with opportunities to extend through the Election and beyond.
Locations: This listing is for Reading, PA. Short-term travel may be required.
Canvass Management Responsibilities:
• Work with a voter targeting list to build walk lists and train others to do so
• Collaborate with our recruitment team to identify and hire members of the community to work as canvassers who will make contact with targeted voters to speak with them about the upcoming election
• Manage a team of 20-70 canvassers, setting and driving goals along the way
• Implement health and safety protocol, including ensuring adequate PPE for all staff and compliance with daily health and safety guidelines
• Knock doors several days a week yourself to train staff and help drive office goals by having effective conversations with voters
• Administrative duties, including working with the HR Director on payroll, onboarding and offboarding staff, and compliance
Qualifications:
• Leadership experience, ability to motivate, grow, and manage a large team
• Prior experience running a canvassing operation is preferred. We will consider candidates with comparable management experience.
• Ability to work long hours, including evenings and weekends
• Familiarity with VAN a plus
• Extreme attention to detail and a proven ability to instill that quality in others
• Self-starter with excellent problem-solving skills
• Strong passion for community organizing and fostering civic engagement
Salary: The salary range for this position is $1,200-$1,400 per week. We offer a generous benefits package, including paid vacation and sick leave, health insurance, and hands-on training. At the end of the campaign, there may be opportunities for advancement and bonuses.
At Vote Blue, we prioritize equity and inclusion. We are an equal opportunity employer and we strongly encourage Black, indigenous, people of color, women, people with previous felony convictions, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and others who identify with underrepresented groups to apply.

General Description :
LCV believes our earth is worth fighting for because everyone has a right to clean air, water, and a safe, healthy community. To ensure those rights are protected, we help people use their power to shape policy, hold politicians and polluters accountable, and influence elections.
Our over 2 million members, our volunteers and staff, and our more than 30 state affiliates (together, the Conservation Voter Movement) work for a more just and equitable democracy, where people—not polluters—determine our future. This movement is an influential national network with unparalleled influence in Washington, DC, in state capitals, and in communities around the country. We are uniquely positioned to ensure meaningful action on our agenda.
LCV’s top priority is to address the climate crisis. Given the magnitude of this challenge, LCV is building a comprehensive campaign that brings together the full force of strategies employed by LCV and the Conservation Voter Movement (CVM) to defeat the fossil fuel industry and win transformative and equitable climate policies. LCV and our state affiliates are uniquely poised to exert pressure on policymakers. In the last two years, through the first CVM-wide collaborative campaign, Clean Energy for All, we have won some of the most far-reaching state climate policy victories. Our community organizing continues to build grassroots and political power, and authentic partnerships with organizations and movements led by young people, people of color and communities that are affected first and worst by climate impacts help anchor our work to a vision of climate justice. Our state and federal electoral programs have elevated climate change and helped get pro-climate candidates into public office. We have expanded the climate movement through creative communications including storytelling and multi-platform online and offline communication channels, and we have a sharp federal advocacy team poised to aggregate and smartly translate the organization’s built power to pass federal policies to address the climate crisis and racial and social inequality.

Engage and work with staff, funders and coalition allies of the 30+ state LCV affiliates throughout the country. Ensure alignment of federal, state and local campaign programs that advance the climate change priorities of LCV and state LCVs.
Foster transformational partnerships with national progressive organizations as well as climate justice, economic and racial justice organizations and coalitions in coordination with other key LCV staff.

Title: Executive Director
Status: Full time, exempt
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon (NPCO) seeks a dynamic and skilled Executive Director to lead the organization with intention and in partnership to sustain and continue to achieve expansive and lasting reproductive freedom in Oregon.
Since its inception in 1977, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon has been a leader in the reproductive freedom movement -- in Oregon, and nationally. We have fought to protect and expand the legal rights and true access for everybody to choose if, when, and how they want to start, raise and support their family. Now, we aim for continuous improvement in centering communities most impacted, being meaningful and unapologetic about our engagement, and building capacity across the state. Transformational work must occur in coordination and coalition with partners from underrepresented and diverse communities and community-of-color-led organizations in order to address intersectionality. In this critical time, we need to know when to lead from the front, and when to step back, so that our powerful cross-movement work can grow stronger, bolder and more expansive than ever.
We are looking for a leader who has the passion, drive and know-how to take us there.
In this role, your vision is fueled by your passion for our mission. You are excited (not stymied) by our multifaceted nonprofit (c3, c4, PAC) organizational structure. You have proven ideas about building, growing and leading a team; and the acumen to balance long-term strategic plans with the immediate day-to-day intricacies of a small nonprofit, along with the programmatic operations of a statewide powerhouse. You are ready to fundraise, work in politics, interface with the media - and have the skills to navigate all these systems with diplomacy, tact and flexibility. You demonstrate your commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion without jargon and with concrete action. You can act fast, with urgency; and you are practiced at the kind of slow, engaged listening that builds authentic partnerships.
While you will be identified as the public face, the spokesperson, and the organizational leader, you’re not in this alone. You have a team -- paid and volunteer -- that is similarly committed to the mission and associated activities.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon staff has experienced, new, and vacant positions -- allowing you to rely on a wealth of experience, the ability to shape plans with new vision, and the freedom to build out the team in a way that best supports your vision.
Of course, in a nonprofit organization, you report to the board of directors. NPCO’s volunteer leadership at this level is comprised of a c3 board (Foundation), a c4 (Affiliate), and a PAC -- collectively, a badass group of pro-choice champions who want to see you succeed and are ready to help you shine.
13,000 statewide members engage with NPCO in a multitude of different ways -- volunteering in the community, attending events, showing their pro-choice pride in action and through their personal/public media, and giving philanthropically. Our appreciation is deep and broad. And with 7-in-10 voters agreeing that Roe should remain the law of the land, we seek to find ways to further engage and grow our membership.
Our partner organizations and our connections with key decision makers help us build coalitions that truly allow us to do our best work. Working as a team, we can all contribute our unique expertise and come out stronger together.
Here are the brass tacks: The Executive Director is responsible for the programmatic, financial and administrative management of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and its affiliated organizations. In addition to overall responsibility and implementation of organizational goals, programs and day-to-day operations, and an annual operating budget of approximately $1Million, the Executive Director is expected to play a strong, visible, and strategic role in building and promoting statewide relationships among elected leaders, coalition partners, members, funders and the communities we serve throughout Oregon. The ED is the primary liaison and support for the Boards of Directors, and recruits and supervises a talented staff team of approximately 5 full- and part-time staff and consultants.
We seek a visionary, a creative problem-solver, a fun and compassionate connector, a savvy diplomat, a proven listener, a trusted leader, a responsible pacesetter who can leverage NARAL’s rich history and strategic plan with our Board, staff, and partners to develop and implement an inspiring vision to propel NPCO ever forward. If this is you, or someone you know, please check out the full position description and apply today.
Position Details, Compensation and Benefits
This is a full-time, permanent position based out of our Portland office. Although hours will fluctuate depending on the time of year, the Executive Director position is a very demanding job, which will regularly require evening (and sometimes weekend) work.
Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience
NPCO provides a comprehensive benefits package, including medical and dental coverage (with 100% of the premium covered by the employer), a 401k retirement savings plan, a transportation stipend of $100/month, 9 paid holidays (plus the six days between December 25th and January 1st), paid vacation (accruing) of 15 days per year in the first three years, and increasing thereafter, a flexible work environment/schedule, and(!) the chance to work in a fun, smart, connected organization where you have the opportunity to make real and positive change in the world.

Salary: $90,000-$105,000 depending on experience
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon (NPCO) seeks a dynamic and skilled Executive Director to lead the organization with intention and in partnership to sustain and continue to achieve expansive and lasting reproductive freedom in Oregon.
Since its inception in 1977, NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon has been a leader in the reproductive freedom movement -- in Oregon, and nationally. We have fought to protect and expand the legal rights and true access for everybody to choose if, when, and how they want to start, raise and support their family. Now, we aim for continuous improvement in centering communities most impacted, being meaningful and unapologetic about our engagement, and building capacity across the state. Transformational work must occur in coordination and coalition with partners from underrepresented and diverse communities and community-of-color-led organizations in order to address intersectionality. In this critical time, we need to know when to lead from the front, and when to step back, so that our powerful cross-movement work can grow stronger, bolder and more expansive than ever.
We are looking for a leader who has the passion, drive and know-how to take us there.
In this role, your vision is fueled by your passion for our mission. You are excited (not stymied) by our multifaceted nonprofit (c3, c4, PAC) organizational structure. You have proven ideas about building, growing and leading a team; and the acumen to balance long-term strategic plans with the immediate day-to-day intricacies of a small nonprofit, along with the programmatic operations of a statewide powerhouse. You are ready to fundraise, work in politics, interface with the media - and have the skills to navigate all these systems with diplomacy, tact and flexibility. You demonstrate your commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion without jargon and with concrete action. You can act fast, with urgency; and you are practiced at the kind of slow, engaged listening that builds authentic partnerships.
While you will be identified as the public face, the spokesperson, and the organizational leader, you’re not in this alone. You have a team -- paid and volunteer -- that is similarly committed to the mission and associated activities.
NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon staff has experienced, new, and vacant positions -- allowing you to rely on a wealth of experience, the ability to shape plans with new vision, and the freedom to build out the team in a way that best supports your vision.
Of course, in a nonprofit organization, you report to the board of directors. NPCO’s volunteer leadership at this level is comprised of a c3 board (Foundation), a c4 (Affiliate), and a PAC -- collectively, a badass group of pro-choice champions who want to see you succeed and are ready to help you shine.
13,000 statewide members engage with NPCO in a multitude of different ways -- volunteering in the community, attending events, showing their pro-choice pride in action and through their personal/public media, and giving philanthropically. Our appreciation is deep and broad. And with 7-in-10 voters agreeing that Roe should remain the law of the land, we seek to find ways to further engage and grow our membership.
Our partner organizations and our connections with key decision makers help us build coalitions that truly allow us to do our best work. Working as a team, we can all contribute our unique expertise and come out stronger together.
Here are the brass tacks: The Executive Director is responsible for the programmatic, financial and administrative management of NARAL Pro-Choice Oregon and its affiliated organizations. In addition to overall responsibility and implementation of organizational goals, programs and day-to-day operations, and an annual operating budget of approximately $1Million, the Executive Director is expected to play a strong, visible, and strategic role in building and promoting statewide relationships among elected leaders, coalition partners, members, funders and the communities we serve throughout Oregon. The ED is the primary liaison and support for the Boards of Directors, and recruits and supervises a talented staff team of approximately 5 full- and part-time staff and consultants.
We seek a visionary, a creative problem-solver, a fun and compassionate connector, a savvy diplomat, a proven listener, a trusted leader, a responsible pacesetter who can leverage NARAL’s rich history and strategic plan with our Board, staff, and partners to develop and implement an inspiring vision to propel NPCO ever forward. If this is you, or someone you know, please check out the full position description and apply today.

For fifty years, NARAL Pro-Choice America has led the fight for reproductive freedom for everyone, including the right to access abortion. Powered by more than 2.5 million members from all 50 states and a network of state affiliates, NARAL Pro-Choice America represents the more than seven in 10 Americans who believe every person should have the freedom to make the best decision for themselves about if, when and how to raise a family. This means we’re on the front lines in the fight to expand access to abortion, make contraception more affordable, prohibit discrimination against pregnant women, and ensure all parents have access to paid leave. In recognition of our work defending the constitutional right to abortion, Fortune Magazine rated NARAL as “one of the top 10 advocacy groups in America.” At NARAL, we don’t operate or litigate; we organize and mobilize. Working together, we push our friends to be bolder, lift up the champions fighting with us on the front line for true reproductive freedom, and we shine a spotlight of accountability on bad actors that work to impose their ideological agenda on others.

The CCAO will serve as a thought partner to the President and Managing Director.
