exciting times
I'm leaving Vegas in three weeks. I interviewed last week for a Fellowship position with the US PIRG, and they were so impressed and so excited with my interview, they wanted to offer me a position with Work for Progress that I could start right away while they finalize their decision for the long-term position.
So for now, until the election, I will be hardcore canvassing and educating the public on pertinent election issues, mobilizing volunteers, and getting people to vote. For the next month, I will be going through some intense training around the country, and then they will locate me in a major "battle ground state" until Nov. 7. There is a chance that I will end up back in Vegas after my training, but there is just as much of a chance that I will be placed somewhere else. It is non-partisan campaigning, but all issue based. My work alone will supposedly generate 2,700 voters for this election. If I do get the position with the US PIRG (which I better if they were so darn "impressed" to want to offer me something immediately), then that will start right after the election.
I don't know where I will be going or staying or how I will get there or for how long, but it looks like I'm embarking on one big adventure.
