Environment California Field Organizer
Background
We all want clean air, clean water and open spaces. But it takes independent research and tough-minded advocacy to win concrete results for our environment, especially when powerful interests stand in the way of environmental progress. That's the idea behind Environment California. We focus exclusively on protecting California's air, water and open spaces. We speak out and take action at the local, state and national levels to improve the quality of our environment and our lives.
Accomplishments
Our history is rooted in developing practical solutions to pressing problems. In the last few years we protected 4.4 million acres of California's forests, passed legislation for 1 million solar roofs, and helped pass the country's first state law to cut global warming pollution.
Job Description
The Environment California Field Organizer will organize our members in all 80 state Assembly districts, with particular attention to the Central Valley.
Specifically the field organizer will:
• Build our political network: Expand and strengthen our e-mail activist network, build our activist and political base in all 80 Assembly districts, coordinate weekly e-mail alerts, and innovate new ways to involve more people through our Web site.
• Generate media attention and build public awareness: Organize at least one major news conference per month, meet with editorial boards and reporters throughout the state, create a media database for the organization and track coverage, conduct TV and radio interviews, and generate opinion editorials and letters to the editor.
• Lobby decision-makers: Expand our political base in each Assembly district. Demonstrate broad public support for our positions through letter writing drives, e-mail activism, and district meetings with decision-makers.
• Build the organization: Work with and build our membership locally, recruit and manage staff, and fundraise to support our field program.
This position involves one to two weeks of traveling each month.
Location
Los Angeles or Sacramento, CA
Qualifications
Qualified applicants will have a strong commitment to public interest issues, excellent verbal, writing and analytical skills, the ability to debate and speak persuasively in a charged atmosphere, and enthusiasm for the work. Candidates for this position could include recent college graduates or people with up to five years of relevant professional experience, post college. Relevant experience includes (but is not limited to) working in political, policy, legal, journalistic, or government settings. Advanced degrees, including a JD or masters in related fields, may count toward a candidate's professional experience.
Salary & Benefits
Salary for this position is commensurate with the relevant professional experience and/or advanced degrees that a candidate has. A competitive benefits package includes health care coverage, educational loan assistance, a retirement plan, and paid vacation and sick days. Opportunities for advancement, travel, and additional training are available.
