Responsibilities:

• Identifying voters and volunteers who will work with us to hold politicians accountable for their votes on environmental and health related issues
• Ensuring, by grassroots organizing, that communities are made aware of these issues
• Plan and participate in press conferences, lobby days, and other events.
