The Center for Empowered Politics and its sister organization, the Center for Empowered Politics Education Fund, are practitioner‑led movement capacity organizations. We support our fiscally‑sponsored projects and broader movement ecosystem by training and developing leaders of color to grow their power‑building and co‑governing infrastructure.

The CEP/EF communications team weaves narrative and organizing strategy together across our network — providing deep accompaniment, focused technical assistance, and peer connection so that movement organizations build and effectively use lasting narrative infrastructure.

Seed the Vote is a grassroots, social justice organization mobilizing volunteers to defeat right‑wing politics by supporting the electoral work of grassroots organizations in battleground states. We are dedicated to building the long‑term power of working‑class communities and communities of color. Seed the Vote recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to door knock with local partners in critical swing states.

The Center for Empowered Politics (Education Fund) and Seed the Vote have partnered to host a dynamic shared senior position for a strategic, resourceful communicator and organizer who thrives in both fast‑moving electoral environments and longer‑horizon capacity‑building and organizational communications work.

In off‑years, the balance shifts to Center for Empowered Politics (Education Fund), leading organizational communications and supporting network partners (title at Center for Empowered Politics Education Fund is Narrative & Communications Associate Director).
