Welcome to Sister District!
We're targeting the 10 most strategic state legislatures to end gerrymandering, drive critical presidential turnout, and build progressive power in 2020.
These ten states fit one of our three criteria of blue flips, blue holds, and blue inroads:
We have also weighted our strategy towards states that matter the most for the top of the ticket: important US Senate and Congressional races, and the biggest chance of flipping the Electoral College towards the Democratic presidential nominee.
By winning state legislatures, Democrats can build a powerful line of defense against the dangerous federal legislation coming down around everything from reproductive rights to voting rights, healthcare to gun control.
ABOUT SISTER DISTRICT
The Sister District Project works to turn states blue by winning state legislative elections. We “sister” volunteers from deep blue districts with carefully targeted races in swing districts, where flipping control of the state legislature will help end partisan gerrymandering. Our volunteers canvass, phonebank, write postcards, textbank, and fundraise for candidates. We are open to volunteers and candidates of all genders.
Since launching in the wake of the 2016 elections, the Sister District Project has grown to over 45,000 volunteers across the country. Our volunteers have raised over $1.65 million in small-dollar donations directly to candidates, and reached out to over 1.5 million voters via phones, doors, postcards, and texts. For a more detailed look at our work last year, check out our 2019 Impact Report.
We’re also proud to be an organization founded and led by women, including women of color. Four out of five of us quit our jobs to be with Sister District full time.
