President Obama says "I do" and now it's time to for the rest of the United states to stand with marriage equality.

From North Carolina to California, Grassroots Campaigns is dedicated to activating and mobilizing people to take a stand for progressive issues. Be it marriage equality, women's reproductive rights, or voting rights, we are focused on educating people and building public support around these issues to have their voices be heard.

A movement takes more than just one person standing behind it – now that the President has announced his support for marriage equality, now more than ever we need to act!

Grassroots Campaigns, in partnership with the ACLU, is hiring Assistant Directors to run our campaign offices across the country to stand up for equality.

If hired, you will manage one of our campaign offices, build community support, educate the public, and recruit new members for leading non-profit partner organizations, like the ACLU.

In this position, you will take on leadership and responsibility, while learning how to run a field campaign.
