Senior Campaign Organizer / Digital Campaigner
THE ORGANIZATION: Courage Campaign leads the fight for a more progressive California and country. Powered by more than 1.3 million members, our dynamic and passionate team is helping shape the digital advocacy revolution. We organize in California -- the largest and most diverse state -- to create models and build power for national change.
California should be the progressive trailblazer for the country -- on climate change, gun safety, police accountability, health care, human rights, and so much more. Here's what we're doing at Courage Campaign to help make this happen:
We're taking on Nestlé in the media and the courts to stop the bottling of California's water during the historic drought and set national precedent to stop corporate profiteering of our public resources.
In April, we launched The People's Report Card of California (couragescore.org), an unparalleled online tool to expose lawmakers, especially Democrats, who sell out to Big Oil, Big Ag, and other corporate interests. And we're mobilizing constituents to hold those lawmakers accountable and change the balance of power in Sacramento.
We're pushing California to lead the country in progressive change, like ending Civil Asset Forfeiture and other racist laws from the failed War on Drugs; passing historic gun safety reforms that will make California the first state in the nation to aggressively regulate ammunition sales; banning fracking and protecting communities from the dangers of oil and gas production; and defending the Reproductive FACT Act and landmark laws to protect women's health.
In 2015, we helped found the Kairos Diversity Fellowship with MoveOn, 350.org, Dream Defenders, Planned Parenthood, and other leading national organizations, to recruit and train organizers of color in cutting-edge digital campaigning. Courage Campaign is committed to identifying and supporting progressive leaders of color and building our team to reflect the diversity of California.
