MoveOn is a diverse and vibrant community of millions of people working together to create progressive change in America. We are an innovative campaigning organization that supports people throughout the country to take action through driving impactful campaigns that influence the behavior of people and institutions, shape the outcomes of elections, and expand the realities of what’s possible. We organize to challenge entrenched power, while pursuing economic, racial, and social justice and a vision of a country in which everyone can thrive.
MoveOn has a vital role to play in securing progress during the Biden-Harris administration, and in organizing the grassroots to set up election wins in 2021, 2022, and beyond. We are building a powerful, multiracial, and economic populistmovement, and fighting for progress on health care, climate, racial justice and more. In service of that mission, in 2021 and beyond, MoveOn will drive impactful, movement-connected, multichannel, nimble campaigns aimed at impact.
MoveOn’s Campaign team has driven work that’s changed the course of history—partnering with our allies to win health care access for millions, stopping wars, curbing family separation policies and impeaching a president. The team conducts a range of campaigns -- from rapid-response work to longer term interventions, aimed at political leaders and other targets. Campaigns are at the heart of MoveOn’s public facing work and are supported by contributions from across the organization -- meaning the Campaigns Team works regularly with the Communications, Fundraising, Organizing, Mobile, Electoral teams and more.
The Director of Campaigns serves a strategic internal partner among the numerous campaigns the team is running at any given time -- helping determine how to prioritize our campaigns, resource them with staff capacity and budget, and supporting individual Campaign Directors on their campaign strategy, tactics and plans. The Director of Campaigns leads a team composed of several Campaign Directors, and helps communicate campaign priorities across MoveOn’s many teams.
