Campaigner -- Progressive Change Campaign Committee -- Remote/Virtual Location

[PCCC]

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (BoldProgressives.org) is a million member grassroots organization building power at the local, state and federal levels. It engages in electoral work and issue advocacy work -- fighting on democracy issues and for economic populist priorities like expanding Social Security, debt-free college, and Wall Street reform. Senator Elizabeth Warren said: "PCCC members were with me since the beginning -- even before there was a beginning! Now, we have lots of work to do together." The PCCC has raised over $27 million in grassroots donations for progressive candidates and committees. It has also trained hundreds of state and local candidates and elected dozens of bold progressives to Congress.

• Write impactful emails to PCCC members to further campaign aims and tell a long-term story about our values and advocacy.
  
• Monitor local and national news related to your designated issue campaigns and identify rapid-response organizing opportunities.
  
• At times, project manage teams of others -- setting goals and ensuring accountability for results.
  
• Travel to provide on-the-ground support when necessary to meet your campaign goals.
  

Strong applicants will have:
