Field Organizer

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Reporting to the ACLU-FL Field Director and working in close collaboration with the ACLU-FL Field team, the Field Organizer will mobilize ACLU of Florida supporters, volunteers, and voters to build power across the state. The goal is for Floridians to understand, be prepared to advocate and vote, and to expand state policies that support priority issues in Florida. This includes organizing volunteer-led teams, hosting Know Your Rights trainings, leading advocacy and skills trainings, hosting phone banks and canvassing events, coordinating community events, supporting rallies, and providing voter education to turn out voters to the polls during elections.

While this position is primarily based in the Miami-Dade area, travel to surrounding counties — including Broward and Palm Beach — is anticipated. Although our organizers work across all of our priority issue areas, we expect this position to have a strong focus on our Immigrant Justice issue area
