Job Description

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 Health & Safety Program Managers to join us on an important and exciting campaign to provide the strategic field operation necessary to win this fall. 

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. A strong ground game is the key to winning. 

COVID-19 has altered the political landscape this year, but one thing remains the same: nothing is going to engage voters more effectively than talking to them face to face about the stakes of this election. If we are going to win this November we're going to need to mobilize millions of Americans to take action and vote. Vote Blue has developed an effective health and safety protocol that allows us to go door to door or to speak with people in public places while keeping our staff and the people we speak to safe.

We are hiring immediately and the position runs through November 14th, 2020.

If you are passionate about progressive politics, join our fight to defeat Donald Trump and vulnerable US Senators. You will provide the administrative support we need to recruit, train and manage paid staff to raise money, identify supporters and turn out voters this November.

Locations: Immediate priority is in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Our strong preference is for in-state candidates, short-term travel may be required.
