TEXAS CAMPAIGN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT (TCE) has been fighting for every Texan's right to clean land, clean air, and clean water since 1991. Our purpose is to organize communities across the state to stand up to big polluters, to keep the pressure on our elected officials to do everything in their power to protect the people they serve, and to keep our homes and livelihoods safe and healthy for the present day as well as the generations to come.
We win campaigns and build political power by engaging community members year round with door-to-door, face-to-face, grassroots organizing. Knocking on doors for the last thirty years in Texas has brought about monumental changes in our state and local environmental policies, and we've held polluters accountable for their actions! TCE has pioneered a community-based structure of organizing.
POSITION SUMMARY Field Canvassers will help build our grassroots base of supporters in the Coastal Bend in order to elect environmental and community champions to the Corpus Christi City Council. Field Canvassers will knock on doors across the city and hold deep, personal conversations with voters about their concerns and visions for the community.
This is a temporary position through the end of the November 8th election with a possible extension through the December 13th run off elections. You will report directly to the Coastal Bend Regional Coordinator. No previous experience required.
HOURS: This is a part-time position. Shifts are available every day of the week according to your availability. The hours Monday through Friday are 4PM - 8:30PM, and the hours Saturday and Sunday are 12PM - 4:30PM. Field Canvassers must commit to work a minimum of two shifts a week. Hours are subject to change based on evolving campaign needs.
