MoveOn.org's Eli Pariser is, well... moving on as the group's executive director, according to a press release from the group. The pioneering online activist group is promoting its national organizing director, Justin Ruben, to the top slot, while Pariser plans to remain as president of the board. Ruben, a former organizer for the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, has been with MoveOn since 2004. He helped create the organization's field organizing program and run its 2006 campaign efforts, and has spent the last two years supervising its issue campaigns.
