The Second House Collaborative is proud to work in coalition with campaigns to protect the freedoms of Nebraskans and make their voices heard through the direct democracy process. Second House Collaborative builds power with Nebraska communities and nonprofits statewide through people-led movements to enact change and hold our representatives accountable. Second House Collaborative equips communities, organizations, and direct democracy campaigns with resources, training, and capacity support while also convening the larger ballot campaign infrastructure to advance longer-term strategy.

In 2026 we are focusing on building power, safety and belonging, and centering the directly impacted. We will do this by working to increase overt turnout with network-engaged voters, increasing our volunteer base and community engagement through focusing on building sustainable relationships, and creating stronger advocate networks across Nebraska. Success will be seen through increased turnout in neighborhoods, collecting over 5,000 signatures for ballot initiatives by our network, increasing our Voter Activation Network base to 65,000 supporters, and successfully defeating bills that harm democratic systems.

In 2025 we are working to keep momentum from the 2024 General, engaging voters in the Lincoln and Omaha municipal elections, funding and supporting off-cycle relationship building in other communities. We are also anticipating fights against Winner-Take-All electoral voting and rights for transgender youth participating in sports and other activities. We will leverage the data we obtained about our universe through the 2024 ballot initiatives to re-engage voters who still care deeply about these issues.
