Why State Legislatures?
Real progress starts in the states. For years, Democrats have treated national politics as the main stage — leaving state races underfunded and overlooked. Yet state legislatures are on the frontlines of protecting our rights, expanding our freedom, and building the groundwork for national progress.
Abortion Access
State legislatures now decide whether abortion remains legal. Democratic majorities keep healthcare decisions where they belong: with patients and providers.
LGBTQ+ Rights
Republicans are targeting LGBTQ+ communities. Progressive states can secure protections, expand access to gender-affirming care, and protect queer youth.

Workers’ Rights
Congress has kept minimum wage at $7.25 since 2009. Blue states are putting workers first, raising the minimum wage and enabling collective bargaining.


Redistricting
State legislators draw the maps for thousands of seats — not just for their own legislatures, but also for Congress. Electing Democrats at the state level protects the future of our democracy.
Preventing Gun Violence
Nearly every year this century, red states have had higher rates of gun violence than blue states. Building Democratic trifectas saves lives.

Our Plan
Our mission is to build lasting progressive power in state legislatures. We do this by supporting Democratic candidates, mobilizing volunteers, engaging voters, and equipping lawmakers with the tools to govern effectively and deliver for their communities.
