2024 is a crucial year for our American democracy. We are supporting candidates in key state legislative races where we can build momentum at the bottom of the ticket to benefit the strategic higher-ticket Democratic opportunities in states like Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
We will be fundraising, writing postcards, and calling and maybe even canvassing voters for our three state legislative candidates: Brittney Miller, Karen Gresham, Jodi Habush Sinykin, and Shadia Martini. State legislatures matter because the laws and policies they adopt directly impact our daily lives, such as wage laws, land use policy, healthcare, election management, voting laws, redistricting, education, and infrastructure investments. By helping progressive candidates win state elections, we aim to protect voting rights, end gerrymandering, protect vulnerable or marginalized communities, enact climate actions and environmental justice now, racial and gender equity, reform the criminal justice system, end the school-to-prison pipeline, protect reproductive rights, help workers and farmers benefit from the economy, and so much more. Brittney, Shadia, Jodi, and Karen will be in the critical races on November 2024 ballots.
We are also part of the Sister District's State Bridges, a program to support grassroots groups that are leading year-round community-based organizing. Laying such a critical foundation of civic engagement all year long will enable us to build progressive power in state legislatures come Election Day.
