New Report: User Error: Democracy

Big Tech and the Fight for Our Future

SiX’s latest report, User Error: Democracy, explores how Big Tech’s unchecked power threatens the very fabric of our democracy. From disinformation to data commodification, major tech corporations are undermining public trust, amplifying extremism, and silencing marginalized voices—all while profiting from the chaos.

This report outlines actionable steps legislators can take to protect democracy and build accountability, such as:

• Requiring transparency on AI-driven political ads

• Strengthening data privacy for residents

• Empowering state-level regulation to curb Big Tech’s influence in elections

As we approach the 2025 legislative session, understanding the threats posed by Big Tech is critical for safeguarding free and fair elections.

Staying Safe: Resources for Legislators

Facing Election Harassment

Election season can bring heightened risks for state legislators, with harassment, threats, and violence becoming all too common. SiX is here to support you with tools and resources to protect your personal safety and well-being.

Here’s how we can help:

• Digital Privacy: Tools like VPNs and data removal services keep your information secure.

• Social Media Safety: Block harmful words on your accounts to limit exposure to abusive language.

• Physical Security: Develop a personal safety plan with strategies to address potential threats.

SiX also offers healing and decompression spaces to help legislators process the unique stressors of public service. Join us at the SiX National Conference in December for dedicated support sessions.

Housing Stability and Voter Power:

Watch Our Housing Justice Briefing

Stable housing is essential for fostering an engaged electorate. With Election Day upon us, it's critical to recognize how rising rents, eviction risks, and corporate-driven housing policies can limit voter stability and participation. SiX’s recent briefing, part of the Economic Power Project, sheds light on the challenges renters face across the nation—and how legislators and tenant advocates are working to protect their rights.

Featuring insights from PolicyLink and the American Economic Liberties Project, this session provides essential tools and strategies for creating resilient housing policies that empower communities and strengthen democracy.

Learn how housing justice supports voter engagement.
