Overview

Stand up for reproductive rights during this critical election season! Reproductive rights are under attack. The Supreme Court has decided to overturn Roe v. Wade, putting abortion access at risk across the nation. People should decide what is best for themselves and their families, not the courts and lawmakers. This is why we’re working with Planned Parenthood of Minnesota Political Action Fund to mobilize voters door-to-door to win races up and down the ballot.

This role is a great opportunity to gain experience in the following areas: Leadership, Communication & Advocacy, Community Outreach & Engagement, Campaign Work, and Public Policy.

Get paid well! Canvass positions start at $25/hour. Leadership positions start at $27/hour. We offer overtime pay, driver bonuses, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals. This position is offered by the Outreach Team LLC, an independent contractor of Planned Parenthood of Minnesota Political Action Fund.

Stay Safe!  We have strict health and safety protocols that include a contactless approach to campaign work. We provide all of the training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) you will need.
