From Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers to Lake Erie, from Ohiopyle to the Allegheny National Forest, and all of the farms and open spaces in between, western Pennsylvania has its share of places we need to protect and preserve for years to come.Yet western Pennsylvania’s environment—as well as our environment across the state and nation—currently faces a variety of environmental challenges. Pennsylvania is at the center of a national debate about gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale, a practice that has serious implications for our waterways, open space and air quality. Our dependence on dirty coal makes Pennsylvania the third largest global warming polluting state in the nation, and is responsible for half of the state’s residents living in communities where it’s unsafe to breathe the air.PennEnvironment’s Western Pennsylvania Organizer will lead our efforts to win votes on our top priority campaigns and to work with our citizen members and activists to engage on these pressing environmental issues. Building off of PennEnvironment’s network of tens-of-thousands of members and longstanding relationships in Harrisburg, you’ll work with our expert staff to continue to build and mobilize powerful local constituencies to get behind your campaigns. You’ll garner ongoing media attention to these important issues by organizing and speaking at news conferences, publishing op-eds, and meeting with reporters. You’ll organize town hall meetings and rallies; lobby decision-makers; and run citizen outreach campaigns to educate the public, build membership and raise money for our work. You’ll recruit interns, activists, and staff to work alongside you.
