Data Entry Staff Needed - Legalize Natural Medicines

Join our campaign to qualify a Massachusetts ballot initiative to legalize the use of psilocybin and other natural medicines as a therapeutic method for treating PTSD, addiction, depression, and other serious medical issues that affect countless people in Massachusetts. We are in the midst of a serious national mental health crisis and legalizing therapeutic plant medicines will offer an additional tool to help those experiencing mental health challenges.

We’re urgently hiring data entry staff to review petition signatures gathered from Massachusetts voters to put this important initiative on the ballot in 2024! Data staff are paid hourly to work in our office reviewing the signatures collected by petitioners making sure they will count towards the final total needed to put this issue on the ballot next November. Data staff first review petition signatures for completeness and errors and then search voter rolls to make sure each voter was eligible at the time of signing. They evaluate signer eligibility and report back to the campaign how many signatures will count towards the total needed to qualify for the ballot. This is an essential part of making sure this issue is put in front of voters in 2024.

We are hiring immediately, all positions run through October 31st with possibilities for continued work in November. Shifts run between 10:30am - 4:30pm weekdays and weekends with the possibility to work part-time or full-time. Additional shift times may be offered over the course of the campaign.
