Grassroots Activist

Overview

Citizen contact is the single best tool we have to combat the money spent by the organizations we watchdog. A super-majority of Utahns are opposed to Utah being home to nuclear and hazardous waste. We need to mobilize Utahans to express their opinions and concerns.

Responsibilities

  • Plan and hold “postcarding” events. We will use postcards to gather public comments as well as to educate the public.

  • Go for a walk: knock door to door in targeted areas to measure public opinion on an issue or to drop information about HEAL Utah's work.
  • Gather signatures for petitions.
  • Help to organize events, including:
    • Publicity
    • Recruitment
    • Logistics

These events include: voter education trainings, lobby training, in-home meetings, and fundraisers.
