Let America Vote, a voting rights organization started by former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander, is seeking a Political Director to join its Washington, D.C. office.
Let America Vote is dedicated to winning the public debate over voter suppression in the United States. For several years, challenges to voter suppression efforts have taken place almost exclusively in courts of law. With the launch of Let America Vote, the fight expands to the court of public opinion. Over the past decade, momentum has gone dangerously in the wrong direction. Jason Kander started Let America Vote to fight back against proposals across the country that make it harder for eligible voters to exercise their constitutional right to cast a ballot. Whether it's extreme identification requirements, questionable purges of voter rolls, voter intimidation, new and extreme voter registration processes, or anything that makes voting harder, Let America Vote will be there to lead the way against it.
The Political Director will oversee Let America Vote's relationships with likeminded groups and guide legislative and campaign efforts. This includes:
· Developing and strengthening Let America Vote's relationships with voting rights organizations and other supportive groups nationwide
· Creating coalitions to work on specific voting rights topics
· Managing campaigns on voting rights issues, against candidates that push voter suppression policies and for candidates that advocate for voting rights
· Liaising with elected officials and staffs
· Coordinating with organizations across the country on grassroots efforts with the field team
We are looking for someone with at least seven years of experience and a proven interest in voting rights. Please send your resume and cover letter to jobs@letamericavote.org with Political Director in the subject line.
