Job Description
Hiring Immediately - $19/hr, Full-time & Part-time
Petitioners Needed to Hold Politicians Accountable!
No Fundraising Needed!
We’re hiring petitioners to gather signatures from Oregon voters and put an important initiative on the ballot in 2022! Petitioners are paid hourly to go to a busy public place and ask passersby to stop and sign a petition with their name and date saying they want the chance to vote on the issue.
The Hold Politicians Accountable initiative (IP14) aims to prevent political gridlock caused by lawmakers not showing up for votes. Over the past three years, this gridlock has stopped progress addressing climate change, the housing crisis, and disaster relief. It will create real consequences for politicians by barring anyone with 10 unexcused absences from running for reelection the following term.
We know people are on our side: Recent polls show that 84% of voters support this measure. However, we need to deliver 150,000 signatures from Oregon voters to the Secretary of State’s office before the end of June.
This would be a great position if you are interested in: Government, Democracy, Campaigns, Canvassing, Signature Gathering, Petitioning, Communication, Politics, Leadership, Community & Advocacy
Get paid well! Petitioning positions range from $17/hour. We offer overtime pay, paid training, sick pay, and bonuses for friend referrals. All team members have the opportunity to earn an extra $50 for referring someone who is hired and works at least 4 shifts.
Stay Safe! As an Initiative 14 petitioner, all your coworkers will be vaccinated! We have strict health and safety protocols and we provide all of the training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) you will need.
