Sister District Project

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. Since launching in the wake of the 2016 elections, the Sister District Project has grown to over 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 million voters via phones, doors, postcards, and texts. For a more detailed look at our work last year, check out our 2018 Impact Report found in the footer of our website. Sister District works to ensure that all Americans have equal representation and our government works for all people, not just the minority in power. We organize volunteers into local teams based on where they live, and “sister” this deep blue energy with swing districts across the country to support strategic state races that matter. We are open to volunteers and candidates of all genders. We have partnerships on the national and local levels with Indivisible, Swing Left, Flippable, DailyKos, One Vote at a Time, MarchOn, Together We Will, Solidarity Sundays, EMILY’s List, and Emerge, along with countless other progressive organizations and local groups. 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.
