We’ve endorsed James Solomon and a slate of city council candidates, and are building a field organizing team that will focus on having conversations with voters in Jersey City about the upcoming election.

You will join a team of paid canvassers who are committed to persuading undecided voters to support these environmental champions in the December 2nd runoff election. You will also give supporters the motivation to get other voters in their networks to support our endorsed candidates. This position reports to the New Jersey Field Director.
