JOB ALERT | Election Protection Administrative Assistant
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is one of the nation’s leading national racial justice legal organizations. Formed in 1963 at the request of President John F. Kennedy, the Lawyers’ Committee uses legal advocacy to achieve racial justice, fighting inside and outside the courts to ensure that Black people and other people of color have the voice, opportunity, and power to make the promises of our democracy real.
The Lawyers’ Committee convenes the National Election Protection Coalition— the nation’s largest and longest-running nonpartisan voter protection effort, which works throughout the year to provide information, resources, and assistance to voters who have questions about the voting process or encounter barriers to the ballot box, with a focus on communities of color that voter suppression efforts have historically disenfranchised. In addition, the Lawyers’ Committee administers the 886-OUR-VOTE Hotline and provides programmatic support for state and national partners. The Lawyers’ Committee seeks an Administrative Assistant to support our Election Protection program.
The Administrative Assistant will support the Election Protection team, consisting of the Voting Rights Project Co-Directors, the National Director of Campaigns and Field Programs, the National Coordinators, and the Hotline Infrastructure team.
This is a full-time, exempt position based in Washington, DC. The Election Protection Administrative Assistant will work under the supervision of the National Director of Campaigns and Field Programs.
