The Committee to Protect Cannabis Regulation is seeking a talented Organizing Director for the effort to protect cannabis regulation in Massachusetts on the November 2026 ballot.
There’s an out-of-state effort to repeal existing cannabis regulations in Massachusetts after voters approved them in 2016. Since the first legal recreational sales began in 2018, nearly $2 billion dollars in local and state tax revenue has been collected, helping cities and towns that host these dispensaries. Regulation has also mitigated youth access, decreasing school disciplinary incidents involving cannabis.
The Committee to Protect Cannabis Regulation was formed to protect adult access to safe, tested, and regulated cannabis and to ensure that Massachusetts does not recriminalize people for selling cannabis.
The Organizing Director will report to the campaign leadership team, designing the organizing program and coordinating with other campaign departments. This individual will work with dispensary owners and operators and other individuals in the cannabis industry to leverage existing resources such as dispensary locations, staff, other industry resources, as well as other campaign staff to execute a statewide voter outreach campaign to reach cannabis consumers and non-consumers alike. Responsibilities include but are not limited to the recruitment, hiring, and training of organizing staff/dispensary operators acting as organizing staff, as well as meeting campaign benchmarks, hitting weekly goals, digital mobilization, and social media communications.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Managing the statewide organizing program to protect cannabis regulation
- Managing and coaching a team to hit weekly goals and campaign benchmarks
- Identifying, recruiting, and empowering volunteer leaders
- Outreach to and relationship building with key stakeholders and influencers
- Coordinating across campaign departments
- Overseeing grassroots actions and field events
- Representing the campaign at community events, meetings, or other public appearances
- Communicating digitally and growing a broader grassroots network
The ideal candidate would have:
- Existing knowledge of the cannabis industry and its workings
- Multiple cycles of organizing, campaign, or political experience
- Passionate leader with innovative ideas in organizing
- Experience managing a team
- Partnership builder with capacity to leverage relational organizing
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Access to a vehicle strongly preferred
Diverse candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
