SignOn.org Organizing Director
Time and again, MoveOn.org has changed the face of politics in America by harnessing the power of the Internet and our 5 million members. We've taken on hugely ambitious campaigns—and we've won. We've proven that progressive candidates can fund their campaigns entirely through grassroots online fundraising.
And now we're changing the game again with an innovative new organizing platform called SignOn.org that gives everyday folks the tools to run their own MoveOn-style campaigns on the issues they care about most—everything from ending corporate personhood to keeping fracking out of local communities. And by connecting these local efforts to our 5 million members, we're making sure that even small start-up campaigns have the grassroots muscle they need to win.
The SignOn.org Organizing Director is in charge of helping thousands of local progressives run their own MoveOn-style campaigns through SignOn.org.
