Portland Clean Air Fund is hiring door to door canvassers . We pay $20 an hour with additional bonus pay for exceeding quota. Canvassers earn $30 an hour on average with bonus included.
Since the Bullseye Glass scandal 12 of the most dangerous Portland industrial air polluters installed a scrubber on their smokestack or otherwise mitigated at a cost of $1 million each.
The smokestack problem is going really well but most of our trucks are still unfiltered. We’re in the worst 1% of counties for diesel particulate exposure according to the EPA. Diesel particulate causes 70% of cancer risks from all airborne carcinogens combined, according to the state of California.
California has banned all these trucks. We’ve identified the largest unfiltered fleets using ODOT and DMV data. We’re going after them with 56 Portland Neighborhood Association boards and 16 churches and synagogues.
We take on numerous projects canvassing and petitioning throughout the year. We will always have work available.
