Bill Baker
Canvass Director
Boston, MA

During his final year at Lehigh University in lovely Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Bill had the opportunity to work with a local faith-based community organizing group. This experience caused him to go out into the world firmly believing that, in order to see any real change in this country, we need to do more than just get new people elected. Following graduation, Bill ended up Worcester, MA, and it was there that he heard about Grassroots Campaigns and began the work of getting your average person on the sidewalk to care about progressive issues and causes as an Assistant Director in the Boston Street office. Since September of 2009, he has been thrilled to have the opportunity to run fundraising campaigns on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International USA, Oxfam America and the ASPCA. This summer, Bill was excited to return to his home state of Connecticut and open a new fundraising office in New Haven. He is returning to his home office, Boston Street, this fall, eager to make sure we can keep these progressive issues and causes moving forward through the 2010 elections and beyond!
