Literature Distribution Co-Coordinator

Position Description

• You might be surprised to learn that the simple approach of distributing literature about factory farming and vegetarianism is one of the most effective forms of animal activism in terms of time spent, use of resources, and results. Rather than feeling pressure or judgment, potential recipients can review the information on their own time and draw their own conclusions. This results in a true and sustainable change. The Literature Distribution Co-Coordinator will oversee all of CAA's literature distribution programs by securing distribution locations, acquiring materials for distribution, and recruiting and managing literature distribution volunteers.
