Campaign Organizer

This job is no longer available

San Francisco, CA, United States
Full-time

Evolve California is looking for organizers to join our team. The ideal candidate has at least one year of experience working on either an electoral field campaign or a managing a fundraising canvass program. 

We are a San Francisco based nonprofit working on an exciting progressive campaign to reform California's Proposition 13 to restore over $11 billion every year of desperately needed funding for our schools and public services.

California used to be number one in the nation in K-12 and higher education funding. But after decades of disinvestment, due to Prop. 13, we are ranked 44th in the nation in per pupil funding and tuition at the UCs and CSUs has tripled in the last 15 years. 

We believe that it's time for our state to once again prioritize education over corporate profits. That's why we are working on a groundbreaking campaign to make corporations, like Chevron, pay their fair share of property taxes to generate billions of dollars a year for our schools. 

We are looking for people who share our vision for a better California and are excited about being part of a statewide grassroots campaign that will have a lasting impact on our state.

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Mission: 

Evolve organizes high-impact grassroots campaigns to benefit all Californians.

Programs: 

Evolve was founded in the spring of 2011 by a group of Bay Area activists looking for a way to get beyond the current political mess. From Washington, D.C.'s failure to work together to fix mounting problems, to perennial budget fights in Sacramento, to ideological battles at City Hall, all levels of government and public life are suffering from the same problem. Politicians, the media, and many activists are too concerned about winning the next election or on the horserace of politics. As this goes on, real problems go unsolved: 50 million Americans lack access to affordable healthcare, unemployment is still incredibly high, and our public education system is being dismantled.

Evolve was founded in the belief that there's a better way. Most of the significant problems we face have established, effective solutions that are not being implemented because of political infighting or the power of special interests. The answer is clear: we need to hold politicians accountable, through grassroots issue-advocacy and elections, to real results that actually move our society forward. And that's what Evolve does. Through effective, smart, long-term organizing we know we can make a difference and ultimately, leave our world a better place than we found it. Evolve to something better.

Why Work For Us?: 

If you are unhappy with the political status quo, want to help bring about real social change, and are eager to learn how to be an effective political organizer this is the job for you.
