Why be a pawn in the establishment’s game? In a culture of lying politicos, rabid partisanship and armchair activism, now is the time when those truly dedicated to social and environmental progress must take action locally to empower the citizenry and engage the public in the democratic process. Remember, change begins at home.
CREATE THE TEXAS YOU ENVISION
Texas Campaign for the Environment is at the forefront of grassroots efforts to protect our state’s environment and public health. As a native Texan, progressive non-profit organization, TCE works locally to sustain and improve environmental standards, preserve our invaluable natural resources and promote democratic processes in which the voice of the citizens determines the policy that affects our communities and quality of life.
TCE is currently hiring entry-level campaign staff to organize strong grassroots campaigns to protect the health, economy, environment and livelihood of Texas communities. Ideal candidates possess strong communication skills and a genuine commitment to the environment, to nature, progressive politics and the vision of a just society in which the voices of everyday people overpower that of the multinational corporation.
Our staff consists of committed, professional highly skilled activists. New employees receive extensive training and continuing support on issue knowledge and campaign skills. All staff members attend regular seminars given by political or environmental authorities throughout the Metroplex or from within our organization. We have a strong and early focus on career development that involves travel and management training opportunities.
Our grassroots political organizers speak to Texans about Texas issues, informing and educating the public, building support and channeling that support into action. When a critical mass of citizens speaks at the same time about the same issue, change becomes possible, the possible becomes reality, and reality becomes a better one. TCE organizers act as the catalyst for such positive change here, in our own backyard.
