JOB DESCRIPTION - VIRTUAL FIELD ORGANIZER - CALL OUT THE VOTE
Starts September 6 • Ends November 9
In the midst of one of the most absurd Presidential races in history, we're fighting alongside some of the BOLDEST, toughest progressive candidates up for election -- to fill House, Senate, and local seats with elected officials who will expand social security and fight for debt-free college. But, we know that the only way we win is by getting people out to vote and that means effective organizing.
As a Virtual Field Organizer for PCCC's Call Out the Vote (COTV) program, you'll be part of a virtual team of callers across the country, who together will have more than 4 million interactions with progressive voters in the lead up to this key election.
Over the final months, we'll be helping bold progressive candidates like Zephyr Teachout, Pramila Jayapal, Jamie Raskin and Russ Feingold. These candidates all know that in order to win the progressive vote, and make big change in our country, it's necessary to put people first. This means expanding Social Security and Medicare, breaking up big banks, $15 an hour minimum wage, and taking concrete steps to deepen the bench of progressive power. Join us in electing a new class of #WarrenWing candidates.
Virtual Field Organizer
In the last election cycle, we hit record numbers when we made more than 4 million calls to voters across the country and scored a record numbers of victories on election day. To ensure an equally impressive victory in 2016, the PCCC is seeking highly motivated and goal-oriented individuals to fill our team of virtual callers.

About Us
Founded in January 2009, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) is a national grassroots organization with a mission of building progressive power. With 1 million members, we help elect bold progressive candidates and work with them to govern progressively. 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 Nation magazine awarded PCCC "Most Valuable Campaign" for our Draft Elizabeth Warren campaign. In 2014, many PCCC-endorsed "Warren wing" candidates won competitive Senate and House races, making the PCCC one of the few Democratic/progressive organizations with a big win record in 2014. We focus on economic populism and democracy issues -- including expanding Social Security benefits, Wall Street reform and accountability, and bold campaign finance reform.
