Campaign Coordinator
Public Citizen 4.4
Washington, DC job
If you look at thorny technical democracy or policy problems and your mind jumps to how to bring together bright people to collectively find solutions - this position is for you. If you love to aggressively lobby for, refine and implement those solutions, and engage grassroots activists in tackling these issues strategically - please apply post haste.
The Trump administration fired the nation's election cybersecurity staff, is withholding election security funding from states, and is threatening to prosecute election officials and seize voting machines. We expect more challenges as the election draws near. The administration and likeminded state officials are making it harder to vote and encouraging officials to upload voter data to the Department of Homeland Security. Vendors are spreading unsecurable paperless internet voting systems to more states.
The Protect Elections Campaign Coordinator will lead Public Citizen's work to protect election officials, secure voting systems, and defend free and fair elections themselves through state policy and national grassroots organizing pushes. As a co-facilitator of the Secure Our Vote coalition and an active member of several other central pro-democracy coalitions, the Coordinator will drive multiple campaigns with the support of policy experts to address new and longstanding threats to our elections. This role is meant for a self-starting strategic thinker, a lover of people and persuasion who isn't shy about planning and executing serious campaigns that aren't top of mind for progressive groups writ large.
Working within various coalition spaces, this program has already won hundreds of millions of dollars in election funding, passed over a dozen laws protecting election officials and voting systems, pushed successfully with allies to move away from paperless voting and defeated dozens of dangerous internet voting bills. Will you lead us to our next raft of victories? Our futures depend on it.
Public Citizen's Democracy Campaign works to protect and build a stronger democracy in the United States. Democracy and the rule of law in the United States is under systematic attack by the Trump administration. Big money raised in secret undermines the voice of the people in our elections, the freedom to vote is under assault, and lawlessness by the executive branch is out of control.
Public Citizen is a national, non-partisan, public interest group with more than a million members and supporters.
