Jack, the importance of this election cannot be understated–and I’m not just talking about defeating Trump, I’m talking about downballot races! Voter suppression, abortion access, LGBTQ+ discrimination, and the future of public education are determined by whom we elect into state governments.

While Daily Kos continues to report on and turn out the vote for the presidential election, we must also support progressive state legislative candidates in order to build Democratic majorities. That’s where you come in, Jack. Volunteering just one or two hours of your time could have tremendous impacts on the future of our reproductive health care rights, access to the ballot box, and more!

Click here to phonebank with Sister District—a national organization that focuses on targeted state legislative races where we can flip chambers blue, or build necessary inroads with Democratic gains.

State legislatures are growing ever more powerful. The most critical and life-altering policies, from reproductive justice and trans rights to fair wages and conditions for working people and families, are increasingly coming not from Washington, but from our often-overlooked state legislatures. States also have tremendous authority over election rules and administration, so they are critical to our democracy’s future.

We cannot emphasize enough the urgent need for progressives to win state legislative races in order to commit to permanent, sustained state power-building efforts. This is why we really need your help, because reaching voters is critical to state-level wins!
