This sounds like a completely non-partisan operation, doesn’t it?

U. Washington students can apply for ‘social justice’ voter registration job

As the 2024 election approaches, a “social justice” organization in Washington State is making efforts to increase voter engagement by leveraging the federal work-study program.

The University of Washington is advertising the work-study position for a voter engagement intern with El Centro de la Raza. Translated as the Center for People of All Races, the Seattle organization describes its work as “social justice.”

The job, and others like it, have conservatives concerned about the Biden-Harris administration using the taxpayer-funded program to help Democrats in the November election.

For the University of Washington job, students can apply to help with El Centro de la Raza’s “voter engagement campaign for King County,” concentrating their efforts on young people and the Latino community.

To achieve the center’s “goal of increasing voter participation,” the student will perform various duties that range from creating social media content to assisting “with non-partisan candidate forums” to managing “voter registration activities,” according to the job description.

In the job listing, the center says its mission involves building what Martin Luther King Jr. called the “Beloved Community” by “unifying all racial and economic sectors,” supporting human rights, and bringing “critical consciousness, justice, dignity, and equity to all peoples of the world.”

El Centro de la Raza is “a gathering place for Seattle’s otherwise dispersed,” according to its website. And “undoing systemic racism and ending poverty are at the core” of its mission.

The position pays $19.97 to $21.97 dollars an hour for up to 19 hours per week.

University spokesperson Victor Balta told The College Fix in a recent email that the position “is open for students with work study eligibility to apply.”

Balta confirmed that El Centro de la Raza is approved “as a Community Service employer on the Federal Work Study Program,” and the job “was approved based on the non-partisan work around voter registration.”
