PROTECT THE OREGON COAST, HAVE FUN, MEET NEW PEOPLE! (HAWTHORNE, PORTLAND.)

2008-07-18T11:13:02-07:00

There are Jobs, and there are Jobs that Matter!

Jobs for the Environment.

The Oregon coast is an amazing place. Each summer weekend people from all over Oregon flock to the coast. Unfortunately, the coast and our ocean are threatened. Salmon are at record-low numbers and other fish stocks are depleted. We�ve seen seabird die-offs, and a dead zone in the ocean where no life exists. In addition, invasive species, pollution, and other problems are putting more and more stress on our ocean.

Even though we have protected state parks and other on-shore areas up and down the coast, the places immediately offshore aren�t protected. We need to protect these areas both to preserve our special places and create refuges where fish and other species can recover and thrive.

So Environment Oregon is working to establish a network marine reserves and protected areas��state parks in the ocean��to ensure that they thrive for our future generations to enjoy.

We know we can make a difference.

We had a huge victory last fall when we passed Measure 49 to protect Oregon�s forests and farms.

We need your help.

Big polluters have already spent millions to convince our leaders to ignore the environment. We don't have that kind of money to buy politicians in Oregon, so instead, we are hiring staff to take the message to the people, in communities across the state, and build the grassroots people power it takes to make our politicians listen to us.

A job that matters.

Work a job that lets you give voice to your passions. We are hiring staff to bring the message to the people here in Portland, to educate the public, identify supporters, raise money and mobilize public support.

Make $9-$14 per hour.
Career opportunities and benefits available.

We are looking for people with energy, a talent for communication, and a passion for social change, and have a great training program that can help you build your skills.

ACTIVIST CAREER POSITIONS RUNNING ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGNS!!! (SE Portland, OR.)

2008-07-18T11:01:46-07:00

We�re hiring Grassroots Field Coordinators here in Portland on a critical campaign with Environment Oregon on a Campaign for Clean energy and Green jobs. Congress is considering massive new investments in the energy industry. If that money goes to old, dirty technology, that means more global warming pollution. We�re pushing Congress to invest in clean, homegrown energy and create jobs here at home.

The Fund for the Public Interest is working across the country with groups like Environment Oregon, Environment America, Sierra Club, Human Rights Campaign and Progressive Future to raise awareness, state by state, about crucial issues in the U.S. - like global warming, health care, energy and human rights. Strikingly, these issues are now rising to the fore, in this election year, in ways they never have before.

Here in Oregon we�re in a swing state and we�re getting lots of attention from the media about which way opinion is flowing. If we can make the case that these issues are the most important issues for voters, we will create an opportunity for more action from the federal government than ever before. The margins in Congress are small - if we can convince just a few Senators that their constituents really are concerned about these issues, we can make a difference.

After the election, we're going to need to keep the pressure on to make sure the nation really does make the best choices on the issues we've raised.

Your responsibilities include:
� Recruiting and mobilizing citizens into a cutting edge offline network of trained volunteers.

� Engaging your network of volunteers in timely campaign tactics on a national clean energy, green economy campaign. Tactics range from news conferences and district meetings with members of Congress to call-in days and visibility events.

� Canvassing 3-4 days/week to raise money, train staff, educate the public on the issues, and identify members and volunteers.

We have positions available now for offices in AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NV, OH, OR, PA, RI, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI and Washington, DC.

Salary & Benefits:
You will earn the equivalent of an annual salary of $23,750 and will be eligible to enroll in our group health plan. Other benefits are available with our year-round positions.

Additional Qualifications:
We are looking for smart, motivated, action-oriented people who are interested in politics, have a commitment to working for the public interest, and are willing to work hard to make change. To do this work, you need stamina. You need to be resourceful on a shoestring budget. You need to be able to convey the sense of urgency and passion you feel about these issues. (In-depth training on campaign strategies, issues and skills is provided.)

We work campaign hours, and are looking for a minimum commitment through the November election.

We also have year-round positions that staff can either apply for concurrently with the Coordinator position, or be placed into after the election. And we offer many opportunities for rapid advancement, as we continue to expand into new locations, work with new progressive groups and implement innovative strategies.

How to Apply:
Call 503-231-6679 and ask for Nancy or apply online at http://ffpir.org/apply_online.html and make sure to include the following ad code, " CALO568", in the application. We'll carefully consider your application, and if we think you're a good fit we'll get in touch.
