About this job
Los Angeles is growing, but our city and county budgets haven’t kept up with the needs of our first responders and healthcare systems. This campaign will work to pass two ballot initiatives, the first will support the Health Justice Action Fund protecting access to healthcare for the most vulnerable Angelenos. The second will support the City of Los Angeles Fire Department, and in much needed updates to support LA’s current needs. Working on this campaign, you’ll help win a practical, local solution that protects families, improves emergency response times, and invests in community safety. This is a chance for Angelenos to step up for each other and help shape a safer city.
Petitioners will canvass in busy public areas, and engage voters in one-on-one conversations, in order to gather signatures for this important ballot initiative. Canvassing is all about connecting with people face-to-face, having meaningful conversations, and inspiring them to take action on important issues. We spend our days outdoors, in public spaces to engage with community members.
