GALVANIZE: Galvanize Night at Marys Seacole - Friday, May 6

Hi All,

I'd like to invite you to Galvanize Night at Mosaic for Marys Seacole.

When: Friday, May 6 at 8pm

Code: Galvanize (get $20 tickets)

There will be a post-show discussion with the artists following the performance.

If you went to an HBCU, wear your gear and rep your school!

Buy tickets here.

About the play:

Hailed as "revelatory" by The New Yorker Magazine, this regional premiere from Pulitzer Prize-winner Jackie Sibblies Drury features Broadway star Tina Fabrique alongside local favorite Kim Bey under the direction of Eric Ruffin (Mosaic's Fabulation, 2019). Inspired by the real life of Mary Seacole, a British-Jamaican nurse and businesswoman who cared for soldiers during the Crimean War, Marys Seacole charts one Black woman's extraordinary journey through space and time - from mid-1800s Jamaica to a modern-day nursing home - with fierce theatricality and reverence for the caregivers and unsung heroes among us.

Hope to see you there!

Angelisa

(Career Progress) Hiring: WorkElections Internship, Summer 2022

Fair Elections Center is a national, nonpartisan voting rights and election reform 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, DC. Our mission is to use litigation and advocacy to remove barriers to registration and voting, particularly those disenfranchising underrepresented and marginalized communities, and to improve election administration.

About the Project:

Many local election officials struggle to recruit volunteers for Election Day, including those with in-demand technological and language skills. WorkElections.org, a nonpartisan project of Fair Elections Center, helps them do that. It collects and centralizes information on employment requirements and application processes for over 5,000 jurisdictions in 47 states. Individuals who are interested in serving as poll workers can visit the website, select their state and jurisdiction, and receive location-specific instructions and links to applications to serve in that jurisdiction.

The website launched in 2018 and played an active role in helping election officials recruit poll workers for the 2020 elections. Between June and November 2020, WorkElections had over one million visitors, with over 158,000 clicking an "Apply Now" button.

In addition, the WorkElections database and API was used by Power the Polls, a collaborative project we co-founded, through which over 700,000 individuals signed up to indicate their interest in serving as poll workers. In 2022, we aim to build on that success and to continue helping recruit new poll workers nationwide.

About the Position:

The WorkElections intern will work with Fair Election Center's National Special Projects Manager on efforts to improve WorkElections.org, increase its use, maintain its database, and help ensure that sufficient numbers of poll workers are recruited in 2022. The intern will also spend some of their time working to support Power the Polls, which uses WorkElections data. The overall aims of both these efforts are to help election officials recruit the staff needed to administer elections, to diversify the pool of poll workers nationally by encouraging individuals from underrepresented groups to sign up, and to prevent polling places from being closed or consolidated due to staff shortages.

This work will take several forms, including:

● Internet research to collect and maintain up-to-date poll worker recruitment information (e.g. application links, compensation, training details, and employment requirements) for thousands of election jurisdictions.

● Monitoring poll worker recruitment needs at the state and local levels nationwide.

● Phone and email outreach to election officials.

● Correspondence with members of the public who use the site.

● Support existing partner organizations.

● Help recruit new partners to Power the Polls.

This work will be done remotely, with trainings/check-ins taking place via phone call or videoconference.

You Are:

A graduate student (pursuing a degree in public policy or a related subject) with strong research and communication skills, close attention to detail, and a passion for democracy and helping to improve election administration in the U.S.

All candidates should be proficient in the Microsoft and Google software suites. Candidates who possess keen organizational skills, are effective communicators, and identify as strong self-starters are ideal for this position.

Time Commitment:

This is a paid, full-time remote position. The intern will be expected to work 35 daytime hours per week from Tuesday, May 31 until Friday, August 19, 2022. Start/end dates can be slightly adjusted if necessary.

Compensation:

A $5,000 stipend will be paid over the course of the internship in bimonthly increments.

How to Apply:

Send resume and cover letter detailing your interest in this project and relevant skills to Ryan Pierannunzi, FEC National Special Projects Manager, at ryan@fairelectionscenter.org. Please use the subject line "Application: WorkElections Summer Internship".

The priority deadline to apply is May 2, 2022. However, candidates will be considered on a rolling basis, until the position is filled. Fair Elections Center is an equal opportunity employer and enthusiastically encourages applicants of all backgrounds to apply.

(Career Progress) Program Coordinator - Mail Programs at The Voter Participation Center / The Center for Voter Information

Position: Program Coordinator - Washington, DC or remote

Reports to: Deputy Director of Mail Programs

Organization Description: The Voter Participation Center (VPC) is the nation's largest non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to registering and mobilizing voters from the New American Majority (NAM) – people of color, unmarried women and young people – who make up the majority of the potential electorate but have been historically underrepresented in political participation and power. Using direct mail, digital and social media outreach, guided by rigorous data science and experimentation, and working closely with a multitude of partner organizations, VPC connects with millions of voters each year, building the foundation for a more representative democracy.

Over 19 years VPC has helped more than 5.7 million people register to vote. In 2020, as COVID-19 shut down most forms of in-person voter contact, VPC helped more than 4.6 million people apply to vote by mail & cast ballots, registered more than 1.6 million people, and assisted millions of voters in voting early and safely to reduce pressures on polling places on Election Day.

VPC programs are flexible, nimble and scalable. VPC is driven by a commitment to constant research, testing, experimentation and evaluation, and thus offers many of the most cost effective, proven, high-impact programs in the civic engagement field.

The Center for Voter Information (CVI) is VPC's partner organization, and is a separate but affiliated 501(c)4 non-profit that works to engage both the NAM as well as members of the broader electorate who share their values.

Position Overview: The Program Coordinator will play a pivotal role in implementing the Voter Participation Center and Center for Voter Information's large-scale Voter Registration, Vote-by-Mail and Get Out the Vote programs. This position will assist in the development, production and execution of mail programs. This position will also be responsible for tracking and updating our website based on political developments both nationally and in key states.

Assist in the production of voter registration and mobilization mail programs
Perform quality control checks during the creative proofing process
Oversee the maintenance of program infrastructure in key states
Field and log inquiries about VPC/CVI programs
Track political activity nationally and in key states, including candidate, IE, and organizational initiatives as well as public polling
Manage VPC/CVI's elections calendar
Assist in preparing reports on VPC/CVI programming
Update state-specific voting information on VPC's website
Other general support for program team activities
Interface with VPC/CVI's legal team

Skills and Qualifications:

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience on political campaigns, in community organizing, or in election administration
Familiarity with current political landscape and interest in voting rights, and election law
Close attention to detail
Capability to be an organized, detail oriented, multitasker
Ability to be a positive, collaborative team player
Comfortability working in a high stakes, dynamic environment
Basic Excel and Microsoft Office abilities

Nice-To-Haves:

Experience responding to direct questions from the general public

The salary range for this position is $50,000-$55,000. This is a full-time position. VPC and CVI offer an excellent benefits package, including 100% coverage of healthcare premiums.

To apply, please submit a resume, cover letter, and three references. Interested Candidates can APPLY HERE. The cover letter should be concise, compelling, and include why you would like to work for VPC-CVI. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until a successful candidate is identified. Candidates are strongly encouraged to apply by May 13, 2022 for early consideration. References are not contacted until you are notified.

VPC-CVI is an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes people from all backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives to apply. We strongly value the leadership of people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other traditionally marginalized communities, and encourage candidates from these communities to apply.

We strive to create and maintain a working environment that is inclusive, equitable and welcoming. At VPC-CVI, diversity, equity, and inclusion are directly aligned with the fundamental belief that people are inherently capable but often lack opportunity. We know that a diverse workforce allows us to see problems in more nuanced ways, creating the thought leadership needed to fulfill our mission and reach our goals.
