Isaac Bloom

Regional Canvass Director

“Canvassing has allowed me to help win dozens of campaigns to protect our environment and civil rights, train hundreds of activists, and given many of us a route to make social change our life’s work. Canvassing lets me and all those working with me have an enormous impact, building political power and momentum person by person, and mobilizing citizens to take back the reins of their society from corporate interests.”
-Isaac Bloom 

Isaac canvassed for Ohio Citizen’s Action in his freshman year of college, working on a campaign to clean up the Ohio River. Though the campaign was only a month and a half long, the seed was planted, and Isaac focused his studies on writing on environmental and societal issues. After graduating in 2001 from Miami of Ohio, Isaac worked for a year doing environmental education for children with AmeriCorps before finding the Fund in the summer of 2002. He subsequently helped build successful campaigns to, among others, reduce mercury contamination from coal fired power plants in Illinois, bring a million solar roofs to California, and to convince Governor Swarzenegger to sign the first state-based global warming law before taking on his current national role. Isaac is now the regional director the Fund's offices in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Texas and Ohio.  He is based in Minneapolis.
