American Oversight is seeking an extraordinary candidate to coordinate a major new initiative to bring our investigative watchdog expertise to bear on the problem of voter suppression and the corruption of democracy at the state level.
American Oversight uses state and federal open records requests, backed by aggressive litigation, to expose corruption in government. Now, in addition to American Oversight’s extensive federal anti-corruption mission, we are using the same tools to uncover the paper trail left behind when politicians, activist groups, and dark money conspire to entrench themselves in power by limiting who can vote. Secrecy makes their efforts possible. The evidence we uncover will inform the public, support civil rights litigation, and augment policy advocacy for change.
As State Program Coordinator, you will be American Oversight’s internal and external hub for anti-voter suppression efforts, coordinating our litigators, investigators, and communicators with like-minded organizations and actors. You will help us identify investigative targets and find ways to put the evidence we obtain to use for change.
An ideal candidate is an excellent organizer and relationship builder, a sponge for information, and a master at distilling complex or voluminous information to make it compelling. A typical day will involve tracking the news, digging into substance with American Oversight staff, reviewing documents, and staying in close contact with partner organizations at the state and federal levels. American Oversight currently is active in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, but is exploring expansion into new jurisdictions. In the future, American Oversight’s state-level work may expand beyond voter defense to other corruption issues.
The State Program Coordinator will work closely with American Oversight’s leadership to chart strategy and inform resource allocation decisions. At the same time, they will be close to the work, often jumping on opportunities as they arise to ensure maximum impact.
The position is located in downtown Washington, DC, and is easily accessible by multiple metro and bus lines.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Coordinate and develop strategies for open records investigations in individual states, as well as for American Oversight’s broader state-level program.
Develop and manage upward and downward communications about the state program to keep everyone informed and working together.
Work with American Oversight management to coordinate efforts of American Oversight staff focused on state-based work.
Read widely to stay abreast of relevant news and identify information germane to existing investigations or potential new ones.
Cultivate relationships with other organizations at the state and national levels to identify potential lines of inquiry, understand local dynamics, and discover opportunities for impact.
Participate in the drafting and review of open records requests. Review documents obtained through open records requests.
Work with American Oversight’s investigations team and partner organizations to identify significant information in the documents we uncover.
Work with American Oversight’s communications and investigations teams as well as partner organizations to leverage and publicize finds and create messaging materials.
Represent American Oversight in meetings with coalition partners.
QUALIFICATIONS
Four or more years of experience in organizing or issue advocacy. Familiarity with working in coalitions or with partner organizations.
A strong foundation in voting rights issues preferred.
Excellent organizational and project management abilities.
Demonstrated people management experience.
Exceptional writing, research, and verbal communications skills.

Familiarity with open records laws or tools is helpful but not required.
A passion for details and for seeing the full puzzle from a handful of pieces.
An entrepreneurial spirit and passion for helping American Oversight build something new.
Comfortable in an evolving startup environment.
Ability to work effectively on multiple projects, balance priorities, and excel in a team-based, collegial environment is essential.
Spanish language skills are helpful but not required.

The ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, economic status, national origin, immigration status, incarceration or record of arrest or conviction.

For nearly 100 years, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been our nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States. Whether it’s ending mass incarceration, achieving full equality for the LGBT community, establishing new privacy protections for our digital age, preserving the right to vote, the right to have an abortion, the rights protected by the First Amendment and due process of law, the ACLU takes up the toughest civil liberties cases and issues to defend all people from government abuse and overreach. The ACLU is a nationwide organization that fights tirelessly in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for the principle that every individual’s rights must be protected equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, economic status, national origin, immigration status, incarceration or record of arrest or conviction.

Overview
The BUILD Initiative (www.buildinitiative.org) envisions a time when all children reach their full potential; race, place, and income are no longer predictors of outcomes. The BUILD Initiative partners with state leaders to promote equitable child- and family-serving systems that result in young children thriving and learning.
BUILD is a national effort that advances state work on behalf of young children (prenatal-five), their families, and communities. BUILD staff partners with early childhood state leaders focused on early learning, health, mental health, and nutrition, child welfare, and family support and engagement to create the policies, infrastructure and cross-sector connections necessary for quality and equity. BUILD provides consultation, planning, and tailored implementation assistance, learning opportunities, resources, and cross-state peer exchanges. These efforts help state leaders improve and expand access to opportunities and promote equitable outcomes for our youngest children.
BUILD is a virtual organization. Staff members work from home offices. BUILD is a fiscally-sponsored project of TSNE MissionWorks (www.tsne.org) in Boston, MA.
ABOUT THE NATIONAL COLLABORATIVE FOR INFANTS AND TODDLERS (NCIT)
Funded through the Pritzker Children's Initiative, NCIT brings together national partners, early childhood leaders, philanthropy, policymakers and practitioners inside and outside state and local government to create and strengthen promising policies and programs, and share what works, so that more states and communities can support the healthy development of our youngest children.
When we support them in their earliest years, infants grow into healthy kids who are confident, empathetic, and ready for school and life—and our communities, workforce, and economy become stronger and more productive. That's why NCIT is committed to advancing the most promising prenatal-to-three policies and programs to create and expand systems of support for families—reaching every mother and child at or before birth—and increasing access to affordable, high-quality infant and toddler child care and learning environments in settings that meet the varied needs of families.
The BUILD Initiative has received funding from the Pritzker Children's Initiative (PCI) to develop a Capacity-Building Hub to support states to increase their programs and services to infants, toddlers, and their families who are furthest from opportunity. The Hub will offer consultation and support to assist PCI grantees and coalitions 1) build (or further develop) their public and private sector state and local teams; 2) clarify their shared visions; 3) identify gaps and opportunities in their states' efforts to support children prenatal to age three including racial and economic disparities and strategies to advance equity; 4) better understand their current financing and funding needs; 5) create and then execute action plans that seek to create a 25-percentage point reduction by 2023 in the gap between children and families served by high-quality programs and those in need and, by 2025, create a 50-percentage point decrease in the gap.
