Volunteer on Phone Hotline/Email
Organization: Forward Justice

As a result of the recent preliminary injunction in CSI v. Moore, which restores the voting rights of certain individuals serving an extended period of probation, there has been an influx of questions from North Carolina citizens and communities on who is now eligible to vote. Forward Justice has set up email and phone accounts specifically for contact requests about the eligibility status of North Carolina citizens with past felony convictions or whom are currently on probation/parole/post-release supervision. We are in need of volunteers who can monitor and respond to the contact requests received through these two accounts. Volunteers will receive training beforehand and will also receive a packet of resources to aid in responding to inquiries.

As we know court wins are not self actualizing. We need to do the work to make sure our win in the courtroom is meaningful.

Now through October 9th.
Mandatory Time Commitment: (depending on volume of requests):
(With current volume) 2 days/week for monitoring – 1 volunteer for 2 hours/day, or 2 volunteers for 1-hour time blocks/day

Legal experience preferred, but training will be given.

This volunteer opportunity can be conducted remotely and requires access to a computer and phone.
