Or become a District Defender!
District Defenders make an automatic contribution to the Sister District Project each month on their credit card. When you sign up, you can choose to give any amount―$5, $20, or more―and you can stay enrolled in the program for as long as you like. There’s no easier way to budget for sustained political impact.
Sponsor a Project!
Organizing Fellows are up-and-coming organizers who train with our Head of Organizing part-time for one quarter. For $500, you can sponsor one Fellow for a quarter, allowing them to gain valuable hands on experience and provide crucial support to our teams!
Sister District launched a pilot program last year to engage college students through meaningful volunteer activities. To expand to all of our targeted states this year, we need $10,000.
Our Candidate Services Program leverages our staff’s combined 10+ years of campaign expertise to provide Sister Races with strategic support and practical resources. For $2,500, you can help us deliver a full menu of tools to one of our endorsed candidates and their staff—including office hours; website and social media guidance; field, fundraising, and communications plans; staffing support; and campaign materials.

We are a small, lean nonprofit organization.
Sister District has low overhead; in fact, we are a remote organization that does not even have an office! We pride ourselves on being conscientious stewards of each and every donation that we receive. When you contribute to Sister District, your gift helps us pay our staff; provide tailored support to our candidates and volunteers; develop powerful organizing partnerships; and educate the public about the importance of state legislatures. Thank you for being part of our movement!
Over the last four years, Sister District has transformed an abstract idea into a network of more than 50,000 supporters across the country! We have backed state legislative candidates in 119 races, raised almost $3.7 million straight to their campaigns, and made more than 3 million field touches to voters in 17 states.
And we’re just getting started! Over the next two years, Sister District will be expanding upon our work to build and maintain progressive power through Democratic majorities in state legislatures. Stay tuned―we will be rolling out our 2021-2022 Political Strategy in just a few weeks!
