Shira Roza is Promote the Vote’s Election Protection Director. She leads the organization’s efforts to expand access to the ballot, eliminate disparities in civic participation, and prevent election subversion.

Shira comes to PTV with more than 15 years of experience as an organizer, attorney, and advocate. Immediately before joining PTV, she managed the rapid response program for Michigan’s 2020 nonpartisan election protection program. Before that, she practiced union-side labor law, representing local and international unions throughout the United States, and worked as an organizer on electoral campaigns across the Midwest. 

Shira has a J.D. and an M.S. in Social Policy from the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A. in history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is thrilled to be working with PTV and its coalition partners to ensure that all eligible Michiganders have free and fair access to the ballot.
