Hi Richard,

I left a message on your voicemail today. My name is Marianne Cariaso and I work for The League of Pissed Off Voters as the director of the California Campus Leadership & Electoral Organizing Project. We are looking to hire 14 student organizers across the state to do voter education, registration, and mobilization on their campuses. Cal State Fullerton is one of our 8 target campus regions. Our goal is to increase and turnout young social justice voters in order to impact and move forward more progressive policies that truly represent working families, students, and communities of color.

-Looking for 2 Fullerton State or Fullerton Community College Student Organizers
-Must be enrolled in a Fullerton University or College for the 2006-2007 academic year
-Flexible hours
-$2,000 Stipend -- Part-time position (12-15 hrs/wk)
-PAID weeklong training in LA with Bus Riders' Union, SCOPE/AGENDA, ALERT, and SEIU.
-Passion for electoral politics and social justice
-Committment August 1st-November 15th 2006
-Application Deadline: June 28th
-The application is available at: sf.indyvoter.org. I have also attached it to this message as a PDF and in Word.
I wanted to ask if you had any information or could help me identify strong leaders who are organizing on your campus? Particularly students who might be interested in this work, want to further develop their skills, and need support? We will take this program off-campus and will be linking these student organizers with community-based organizations in the area as mentors in hopes that these leaders will continue to do community organizing post-graduation.
If you could direct me to any specific contacts or persons I should speak to, it would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time, and looking forward to hearing from you!
