Voter Engagement Coordinator
CASA, Atlanta, GA, United States
CASA & CASA IN ACTION SYNOPSIS
CASA’s mission is to create a more just society by building power and improving the quality of life in working‑class: Black, Latino/a/e, Afro‑descendent, Indigenous, and Immigrant Communities. Our vision is rooted in the collective power of our community. Our inclusive, permanent, member‑led movement radically transforms communities and systems to ensure the needs, dreams, and aspirations of members are fully met as we strive for justice and full liberation at home and in solidarity with others across the world. CASA has a sister organization, CASA in Action, a separate but related nonprofit organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Although CASA and CASA in Action share a common goal of supporting immigrants and low‑income people in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Virginia, they are separate organizations with their own board of directors. A set of employees at the two organizations, including the person filling this position, shares their time between the two organizations. This has no effect on salary or benefits.
