The Texas Civil Rights Project (TCRP) is comprised of Texas lawyers dedicated to helping Texas communities achieve equality and justice in all aspects of life. TCRP is a civil legal aid organization that uses legal advocacy and litigation strategies to serve Texas’s most vulnerable populations in areas of voting rights, criminal justice reform, and racial and economic justice.

In particular, TCRP’s Voting Rights Program fights to defeat systematic barriers to Texans’ right to vote. Current projects of the Voting Rights Program focus on enforcing voter registration laws and combating voter purges and intimidation.

The Position

TCRP’s Voting Rights Program is seeking two Regional Election Protection Legal Fellows to participate in a one-year fellowship program beginning this December. The fellows would be responsible for organizing election protection volunteers, responding to election administration issues, and serving as an election protection spokesperson for a designated region. The ideal candidate will be a charismatic self-starter and have excellent written and oral communication skills.
