Yes 4 Minneapolis
Field Coordinator
Position Status: Exempt, full-time, benefits eligible temporary position for 9 months
Payment: $60,000/ year, benefits stipend will be provided
Reports to: Canvass Director(s)
Yes 4 Minneapolis Campaign:
The Minneapolis city charter currently requires the City to maintain a police department with a minimum level of sworn officers on staff. Our charter campaign will propose amending the charter to remove these requirements, and may make other changes to promote community-led safety proposed by community members throughout our process.
The goal of the campaign is to win a majority support for a "Yes" vote to change the Minneapolis City Charter. The Yes 4 Minneapolis campaign will require extensive community conversation and political education to determine what the charter amendment should say; canvassing for signatures to add the amendment to the 2021 city ballot; and employing community, labor, and grassroots organizing to recruit supporters to vote for the amendment in November 2021. Deliverables include: 1) signatures gathered, 2) direct voter contact reports (doors, calls, etc), 3) volunteers trained, and 4) community members supportive of the campaign.
The Yes 4 Minneapolis is a campaign with the purpose to advocate and educate on alternative safety strategies within the municipal context, and build community partnerships to execute those strategies. The Yes 4 Minneapolis Compliance Coordinator will report directly to the Finance Director.

COVID-19 Addendum
The position is Minneapolis-based and will require the candidate to live in the Twin Cities and do in-person work, once it is safe to do so. The responsibilities of the position will not shift significantly since our team already works remotely, but the pandemic will require all staff to be particularly flexible, resourceful, and innovative when it comes to building relationships with the rest of the team and with donors and funders. All meetings and retreats are currently being held online. However, signature collection requires in-person contact, so a component of the campaign will require COVID-safe in-person activities. During the pandemic, we are committed to supporting each other to take the time needed to care for ourselves and loved ones.
To Apply: Please include "Yes Volunteer Coordinator" in the subject heading of the email and send a resume and cover letter to info@yes4minneapolis.org as soon as possible. Candidates will be considered on a rolling basis, priority deadline is March 5th. We intend to make a hire by March 12th.
Yes 4 Minneapolis is an equal opportunity employer. We strongly encourage those from, and who have experience working within, Black and LGBTQ communities to apply.
