👀 Candidate Endorsements…Coming This Month!

The Sister District team is busy preparing for our first round of candidate endorsements this month!

We are energized and ready to deploy our trademark combination of tactics rooted in research and tailored to each district. Our volunteers are laying out their plans, getting trained up to speak with battleground voters, and raising early money for candidates who will drive up turnout all the way up the ticket.

Stay tuned for more!

🎉 We’re Hiring Sister District Fellows

We were thrilled to announce that we’re aiming to hire 34 paid fellows to support our work this year.

Our first term of organizing fellows starts on April 29! We will train our first cohort of nine fellows in the art of volunteer recruitment to support Sister District team events, such as fundraisers, phonebanks, and more. In addition to providing this critical support, our organizing fellows will get trained and participate in Sister District team phonebanks.

📋 Organizing Update

On April 14, Sister District teams from across the country will join forces for a Bridge Walk for State Bridges! What's a Bridge Walk you ask? Teams from the Bay Area to Portland, Oregon to Washington, DC are gathering to put the "bridge" in State Bridges and cross a bridge in their neighborhood to benefit our State Bridges organizations. It's a fun, active way to get together and support our amazing grassroots partners through a collective day of action.

Check out our Featured Events to see if there's a Bridge Walk near you or grab some friends and start your own! Be sure to take lots of pictures and post them on social with the hashtag #StateBridges

🎟️ You’re Invited: Register for the SDAN Research Briefing

Join Sister District Action Network for a virtual research briefing on April 22! We’ll be sharing key findings from a large-scale survey of voter behavior in state legislative races that we conducted with our partners at Data for Progress.

We’re so excited to present these fascinating results, which help us better understand why voters do, or don’t, vote in down-ballot races—including important subgroups such as women, voters of color, and young voters. This survey is just one piece of our data-driven approach to building progressive power in the states.
