About Us

 

The Outreach Team is a firm that specializes in face-to-face canvassing. We partner with organizations working to solve some of the biggest problems facing our society -- from protecting human rights to fighting climate change -- and help them build the resources they need to make an impact. We are a people-powered enterprise; our campaigns are effective because we hire diverse teams of talented people, invest in our staff, and treat them well.

 

Featured Partner - Greenpeace

 

One of our current partners is Greenpeace.In 1971, Greenpeace was founded by a small group of activists who took a stand against nuclear weapons testing in Alaska by sailing a small fishing boat into the testing site, disrupting the tests, and placing themselves in harm’s way. This action began the next 50 years of Greenpeace’s efforts to use direct action to tackle issues like commercial whaling, drilling in the Arctic, fracking, mining, and the climate crisis. Right now, one of the top priorities for Greenpeace is fighting plastic pollution.

 

Greenpeace can only sustain their critical work and take on new challenges, campaigns, and cases, with members and money. That’s why they’re partnering with us; we have the experience and expertise to recruit the members and raise the money groups like the Greenpeace rely on to run effective campaigns.
