After eight years of failed conservative policies, it's time to move our country in a more progressive direction. We have solutions to make of our more pressing problems - the war in Iraq, health care, the economy, and global warming - but they won't happen without new leadership and a grassroots movement for change.

Grassroots Campaigns is currently working to build the Democratic Party in all 50 states, so we can strengthen Democratic majorities in Congress and elect Senator Barack Obama as President of the United States! We work on behalf of the Democratic National Committee to help elect more progressive leaders, and with great advocacy groups like the ACLU and League of Conservation Voters to advance better policies once those leaders are in office.

We are currently hiring campaign field staff to mobilize public support for the DNC here in New York.

Full time, part time and leadership positions available. Earn $1375-$2175/month, gaining experience and working with great people in a job you can be proud of.
