Lead Remote Organizer
About Shape Up The Vote
Shape Up The Vote (SUTV) is a non-partisan campaign to turn out the vote by activating barbershops and salons as voter engagement hubs in their communities. Over the 2020 and 2021 election cycles, our program enabled 2,000 barbers and stylists to engage their clients around voting. We provide participating barbers and stylists with everything they need to run a non-partisan voter registration and turnout campaign, right from their shop in the flow of their day-to-day business.
Shape Up The Vote exists because voter turnout is highest when it's driven by local voices that people trust, like their barbers and stylists.
We are committed to hiring candidates who reflect the communities barbers and stylists serve. We strongly encourage people of color, women, and others who are traditionally underrepresented in political campaigns to apply for this position.
By executing Shape Up the Vote’s strategy, you can empower these leaders to activate their communities to influence the 2022 midterm elections.
