Support Sister District's State Bridges Partners!

To fight gerrymandering in an enduring way, we must start with our communities. Our State Bridges program supports grassroots groups building long-term power on the ground. This program helps fund community-based organizations in our 2022 target states who will hold their representatives’ feet to the fire when it comes to drawing fair maps.

Long-term community-based organizing, often led by people of color, is a key to building progressive power in state legislatures. The State Bridges program creates a way for teams and affiliates to fundraise for select partner organizations doing this work in our 2022 target states. 

This page splits your donation among these incredible organizations, as well as Sister District Action Network, the 501(c)(4) organization hosting the State Bridges event series.

Carolina Federation is a statewide organization that brings local people together across race and the rural-urban divide to build political and electoral power in their own communities. Through both electoral work and base-building, they engage in organizing that strengthens diverse communities, develops leaders, and achieves electoral victories. They are building an independent political movement that forges a new political and economic agenda for North Carolina, rooted in a culture of dignity and belonging. Through their organizing, they are working to build permanent, progressive majorities at the local and state level.

The North Carolina A. Philip Randolph Education Fund is an organization of Black trade unionists and community activists fighting for racial equality and economic justice for all Americans. They work to improve the quality of life for economically disadvantaged families by providing the necessary resources that improve their standard of living and foster self improvement, self empowerment, and self sufficiency. The Institute is named for A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, who were preeminent African American labor leaders and fathers of the modern American civil rights movement. They believed the fight for workers’ rights and civil rights were inseparable.

Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN) Action seeks to transform progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders and organizations.

Nevada is home to over 300,000 Asian Pacific Islander Americans, comprising around 10 percent of the total population. One APIA Nevada is a 501(c)4 grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to uniting and supporting the Asian Pacific Islander Americans in Nevada. 

They advocate for progressive policies that benefit members of the AAPI community. One APIA’s work includes electoral organizing, voter education, and year-round base-building across Nevada. 

The strategy is clear: with greater resources, our partner organizations on the ground can do more, which will lay the groundwork for our candidates to win on Election Day, and to build power in the long term.
