It Starts With States
Since 2016, we’ve helped Democrats win 70 state legislative races, enabling them to pass progressive legislation across the country. We’re already looking ahead to our work in 2021 and 2022. Join us!
What will I do as a volunteer?
You’ll help Democrats get elected to critical state legislative seats across the country by making phone calls to voters, writing postcards, sending text messages, and raising small dollar donations. And you’ll do it all while having fun with a community of like-minded activists!
With over 50,000 volunteers across the nation, we are one of the largest and most effective progressive grassroots organizations in the country.

Our Map
2021
Virginia: Protect and expand the Democratic House majority.
Special Elections: Endorse in strategically valuable special state legislative elections when possible.
2022
Target States: AZ, FL, GA, MI, NC, NH, PA, TX, WI, MN, CO, NV
Nested Opportunities: Prioritize states with nested competitive Senate, House, and Gubernatorial elections.
Redistricting Commissions: Prioritize states with redistricting commissions, where we expect new maps to be fairer for Democrats.
Incumbent Protection: Invest in fragile incumbents. Incumbent protection has always been a key component of our electoral strategy. We can expect many state legislative Democratic incumbents to face reelection challenges under new maps in Republican-controlled states. We must not lose our hard-won gains.

Statement on the Violence in the Capitol
We are devastated by the shootings that occurred in Atlanta yesterday, killing eight people, six of whom were Asian, and all but one of whom were women. Sister District stands with the state and local leaders who are working to hold those who have done harm to account, and to build safer communities through healing and solidarity.
