Food & Water Action/Food & Water Watch is a nationwide non-profit organization that was founded in 2005 to preserve our food and water quality and has over two million members. We are currently hiring canvass staff to do so in Nassau County by endorsing Kamala Harris and Laura Gillen for congress! We will be working exclusively in Nassau County’s Congressional District 4. It is a great opportunity for students to earn good money, $25/HR FT and PT available Saturday - Sunday, and build their resumes, while taking part in the democratic process, and making a positive impact on their community all at the same time.

This campaign has a special focus on environmental issues like climate change and water quality, as well as consumer justice issues, and a woman’s right to choose. We will be turning out Nassau residents who care about these issues to vote early, or on Election Day November 5th, when the campaign and position close.

I’ve attached a job announcement poster to share with all appropriate and interested applicants and groups.



Thank you for your time and consideration, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions!
