PIRG
Zero Waste Campaign Associate
Portland, OR
PIRG is hiring a campaign associate to help drive our Waste is Out of Fashion campaign. Fast fashion companies are making more clothing than we can wear. As a result, millions of garments produced every year are never worn before heading to a landfill or incinerator. We are hiring an entry-level campaign associate to help build support for our campaign calling on fast fashion brands like Forever 21 to commit to not trashing or burning unsold clothing.
Key Responsibilities
Qualifications
We are seeking a Campaign Associate who will spearhead this campaign and work with our experienced team of advocates, researchers, and digital and communications experts. Entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply. Though we expect you to take your campaign and run with it, we provide training on advocacy and organizing skills, as well as oversight by an experienced advocate. Ideal candidates will have leadership experience, top-notch writing and public speaking skills, an eagerness to learn, and be ready for a challenge. We value organizing experience, including building campus or community groups.
Compensation and Benefits
The target annual compensation for this position is $32,250 in the first year. PIRG offers a competitive benefits package. We also offer an excellent training program and opportunities for advancement.
Location
Portland, OR
We’re also hiring campaign associates to work on other campaigns in locations across the country. We accept applications on a rolling basis.
About PIRG
PIRG is an advocate for the public interest. We speak out for the public and stand up to special interests on problems that affect the public’s health, safety and wellbeing.
How is it possible that, in the richest country the world has ever seen, dissatisfaction is rising and life expectancy is dropping? Is it just inequality? Or could it be that, in the name of producing and consuming more “stuff,” we’ve lost sight, as a society, of what really matters — including health, wellbeing, community, and a clean environment?
PIRG’s mission is to spotlight these problems and find new solutions. Let’s make more stuff reusable, repairable and recyclable, instead of single-use and designed for obsolescence. Let’s choose conservation and renewable energy over fossil fuels. Let’s value clean air and water over short-term profits and lower costs. Let’s grow food that nurtures us as well as the land, with fewer pesticides, antibiotics and other quick fixes.
Getting governments and corporations to make these choices is hard, and steps in the right direction are almost always small. But we have a 50-year track record of training and putting even our newest staff in a position to overcome powerful interests and win real results for the public interest.
