Episcopal Election Activators 2024-2025

Episcopal Election Activators is an Episcopal Church program, run by the Office of Government Relations, that seeks volunteers to help promote and facilitate local non-partisan election engagement efforts in their state or region of the U.S.! Applications are open for the 2024-2025 cohort, which will run from January 2024 to December 2025 with varying levels of engagement based on the election calendar. Individuals may apply at any time, even as the program is underway.

Requirements

Being an Election Activator is a commitment to the program through 2025. We will ask all Episcopal Election Activators to provide updates on their work, to connect with local parishes, to help share resources within their networks, and to help direct and mobilize Episcopalians to support elections through voter registration, voter education, providing rides to the polls on election day, and other tasks beyond getting out the vote.

The program has a rolling application and will involve monthly calls beginning January 2024 with regular email updates in-between. Similar to our Vote Faithfully engagement in recent years, resources for this program will be based primarily on existing resources from secular organizations (like the Civic Holidays)—making our primary task organizing and motivating.

Who are we looking for?

We are hoping to find Episcopalians who love justice and who feel a particular call to public policy advocacy and election engagement. As always, our work in the Office of Government Relations and The Episcopal Church is entirely non-partisan. Activators will be expected to sign a pledge of non-partisanship in order to participate.
