Position Title: Election Protection Organizer
Organization: MOSES (Metropolitan Organizing Strategy Enabling Strength)
Location: Metro Detroit, MI (with statewide travel)
Reports To: Lead Organizer / Executive Director
Status: Full-Time, Temporary (Election Cycle-Based)
Position Overview
MOSES is seeking a committed and relational Election Protection Organizer to lead our nonpartisan voter protection efforts during the 2026 election cycle. This role is grounded in our mission to build congregation-centered power and ensure that every eligible voter—particularly in Black, brown, and historically marginalized communities—can participate freely, safely, and fully in our democracy.
The Election Protection Organizer will recruit, train, and mobilize clergy, congregants, and community leaders to serve as nonpartisan election-protection volunteers. This includes coordinating poll monitoring, voter education, and rapid response to voter suppression or barriers at the polls.
This is not just a program role, it is an organizing role rooted in leadership development, relationship-building, and the development of long-term civic infrastructure through our congregations.
Key Responsibilities

1. Organizing & Leadership Development
  • Build and maintain relationships with clergy, congregation leaders, and community partners across Southeast Michigan and targeted statewide regions
  • Recruit and develop Election Protection volunteers, including Faith Captains and congregation-based teams
  • Conduct one-on-ones to identify leaders’ self-interest and move them into action
  • Develop core teams within congregations to anchor election protection work
2. Election Protection Program Implementation
  • Coordinate nonpartisan election protection efforts, including:
    • Poll monitoring
    • Voter assistance support (information, rights education)
    • Documentation of issues at polling locations
  • Work with partners to ensure coverage of priority precincts and communities
  • Support implementation of voter protection hotlines and reporting systems (in partnership with statewide/national networks)
3. Training & Capacity Building
  • Design and facilitate trainings for volunteers, including:
    • Voter rights and election laws (nonpartisan)
    • Poll monitoring protocols
    • De-escalation and conflict navigation
  • Prepare clergy and congregation leaders to engage their communities in voter education rooted in values and justice
4. Data, Reporting & Compliance
  • Track volunteer recruitment, training participation, and field activity
  • Ensure all activities comply with 501(c)(3) guidelines (strictly nonpartisan)
  • Maintain accurate reports of election protection activity, incidents, and outcomes
  • Coordinate with MOSES leadership to align with broader civic engagement strategy
5. Coalition & Partnership Coordination
  • Collaborate with statewide partners (e.g., voter protection coalitions, legal networks, community organizations)
  • Represent MOSES in election protection tables and strategy spaces
  • Help align MOSES’ congregation-centered model with broader democracy efforts
Qualifications
Required
  • At least 2–3 years of community organizing experience (faith-based or issue-based preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to build relationships and develop grassroots leaders
  • Strong facilitation and training skills
  • Commitment to racial justice, democracy, and community empowerment
  • Ability to work evenings and weekends, especially during election season
  • Strong organizational and communication skills
Preferred
  • Experience with civic engagement, voter protection, or election work
  • Familiarity with Michigan election systems and voting rights issues
  • Experience working with faith communities
  • Ability to manage volunteers and coordinate large-scale efforts
Core Competencies
  • Relational Organizing: Builds trust and moves people into action through one-on-ones
  • Leadership Development: Identifies and grows leaders rooted in self-interest and community
  • Strategic Thinking: Understands how election protection fits into long-term power building
  • Accountability & Follow-Through: Tracks work and delivers results in a timely way
  • Values Alignment: Anchored in MOSES’ faith-based justice framework
Compensation & Terms
  • Salary range: Based on an annual salary of $50,000–$55,000 (commensurate with experience)
  • Temporary position aligned with the 2026 election cycle (with potential for extension)
  • Mileage reimbursement for travel
  • Flexible schedule with high activity during peak election periods
