Sister District Advocacy Network (SDAN) furthers the common good and general welfare of the community through programs designed to achieve the following goals: educating Americans about the role of state legislatures and the potential for state legislative policy to impact the lives of individuals and communities, increasing public trust in state legislatures, promoting greater representativeness of state legislators, and building opportunities for community-centered civic engagement. By increasing trust, representativeness, and civic engagement, SDAN will improve the quality of public policy passed by state legislatures and the trust in state government, to the benefit of all Americans.
Our narrative change and storytelling program creates, measures, and disseminates compelling content and messages about the power and promise of state policy. Our research program investigates, measures and reports on crucial trends at the state legislative level, including the composition and reflectiveness of state legislatures, voter participation in state elections, and state legislative electoral outcomes over time. Our State Bridges program will raise funds for 501(C)(3) organizations running year round nonpartisan organizing programs in their local communities.
Supports Democrats running for competitive state legislative seats, where precision investments can close narrow margins and win entire chambers. We “sister” our local volunteers with endorsed candidates, bringing capacity for phonebanking, fundraising, and more. We complement this with campaign services, rooted in research and tailored to the district.
Sister District builds enduring progressive power in state legislatures. We do this by supporting candidates, mobilizing volunteers, empowering lawmakers, and educating voters.
