Polk County Canvasser
About The Position
Food & Water Watch is reaching out to Iowans around the state to have conversations about the pollution running into our waterways, and the cancer crisis it is causing. We have been fighting for clean water for Iowans for over a decade. Last year, we stopped a law that would give industrial agriculture legal immunity against cancer claims. Now we're building a paid outreach team who are committed to educating and engaging voters and will have thousands of conversations around the state. About Food & Water Watch: Food & Water Watch is working to create a healthy future for all people and generations to come—a world where everyone has food they can trust, clean drinking water and a livable climate. Making this happen requires involving people in the pressing issues of our time at the local, state, and federal level, building on one win after another, as we develop a larger movement that has the political power to make our democratic process work.
