    Description

    We The Fighters | Deep Canvass Phone Banker Contractor | REMOTE POSITION

    Background

    We The Fighters is a new, ambitious field program to directly contact voters in key Congressional districts who are most impacted by the devastating budget cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and passed by Congress last summer.

    We will be organizing working-class voters across the district through door-to-door canvassing, phone banking, texting, and digital storytelling. This program is rooted in the belief that the people impacted by these cuts must be directly engaged, invited into action, and supported to lead. Our program is focused on ‘deep canvassing’ where we are sharing stories to build deeper connections that help to motivate and persuade voters to take action.

    “We The Fighters” seeks to engage an independent contractor to join our national phone banking team to help support our volunteer recruitment and voter contact efforts. This is a remote position and voter contact efforts will be scheduled in the evenings across multiple time zones.

    This is a fixed-term independent contractor engagement anticipated to run from August 24, 2026 through November 4, 2026, subject to the terms of a written independent contractor agreement.

    Scope of Services / Expected Deliverables.

    • Participate in regular phone banking to help recruit volunteers to participate in local and remote voter contact activities;

    • Experience or demonstrated ability to communicate with members of the public by phone;
    • Strong follow-through and attention to detail;
    • Comfort in working with dialer systems to record results of conversations.

    Requirements

    • Voter contact is most effective when voters are available, contractors should be able to schedule services during high-contact periods, including evenings and weekends, as needed to meet agreed deliverables. The contractor will determine the manner and means of performing the services, subject to agreed event schedules and compliance requirements.
    • Contractor is expected to have access to their own equipment and resources necessary to perform the services, including phone, laptop, and internet access.

    Compensation

    • $30/hour; compensation will be based on agreed deliverables, project milestones, or an agreed service fee under the independent contractor agreement.
