ownership and gun responsibility go hand in hand, and are not at odds with each other. Our

expertise, credibility, working relationships, and history of success make us a trusted partner in

these efforts.

Our Coalition includes dozens of organizations and hundreds of volunteers from across the

state who have marched, rallied, written letters, made phone calls, and collected signatures to

advocate for gun safety in Maine. We have the capacity to turn people power into real change.

safety champion candidates as part of a statewide independent expenditure campaign.

• Ensure outreach is tracked within EveryAction and VAN
• Work with coalition organizations to help them reach out to their membership to spread the word by calls, emails and texts to get volunteers
• Keep coalition organizations and volunteers updated on the campaign

This will be a two month contract position running from September through Election Day on

November 10. Salary range is $4000-$5000/month. Experience with NGPVAN and associated

tools required, and experience with Scale to Win and similar outreach tools is preferred.
