Community Organizer - Environmental Justice

Clean Water Action • Ann Arbor, MI

3d • $20 • Onsite

About The Position

Currently, we are working with the Michiganders for Money Out of Politics coalition to pass a Michigan state law that comprehensively prohibits monopoly utilities like DTE and Consumers Energy from making state or local political contributions. From issues like holding polluters accountable to taking the big, bold steps that we need to address the climate crisis, political money from major corporations has been a consistent roadblock to passing people-centered policy. We can no longer allow monopoly corporations and corporations seeking state contracts to buy their way out of accountability and drown out the voice of the people. And because we can't trust our lawmakers to do the right thing while they're being funded by corporations, we're putting this up for a vote by the people of Michigan on next year's ballot. As part of our staff, you would organize communities around these vital issues. Responsibilities include one-on-one communication, education, fundraising, dispersing information, volunteer recruitment, and good record keeping. If you're ready to make a difference in the environmental sector while working in a dynamic and supportive environment, apply now and become a part of our motivated team!
