phone, digital, and door-knocking tactics. The consultant will train and
manage an existing field team with their work, build relationships with
organizational allies and partners, expand the organization's growing
cross-movement work, and ensure the smooth and continuous execution of
field operations.
Mission, Vision, and Values:

celebratory and supportive spaces for our bodies, genders, abilities,
sexual expression, and reproductive self-determination.
