We believe that state legislatures are the strongest force for change in America. 💪 If you want to fix our country, work with us in the states. 🇺🇸

“This is a moment when we need to flip the script and have state government be the forefront of civil rights and a representative democracy.”

Our own @DanielSquadron joins @staceyabrams’ Assembly Required to talk about how we build power in the states.

From actually making utilities affordable to expanding Medicaid access and protecting voters, state lawmakers are making real strides to improve lives.

“As Washington continues chipping away at voting protections, it’s up to the states to ensure our elections remain free, fair, and accessible to all eligible voters.”

“We are working to meet this moment by expanding our footprint. We’re looking at states where gains in legislative power this Nov. could secure as many as nine congressional seats as we look towards 2028.”

🚨HUGE win in Michigan! 🚨

TSP’s investment helped protect Michigan’s Senate majority.

This November, we’re working to regain a trifecta for state lawmakers ready to improve the lives of Michiganders.

The Voting Rights Act is gutted.

Now, every rule, every map, every decision about who gets to vote and whether their vote counts is 100% up to who holds power in your state legislature.

[The States Project @StatesProjectUS]

Today’s decision means that the power we build in states this November will have an even bigger impact on who draws the maps, who gets to vote, and whether their votes count in 2028 and beyond. https://t.co/FgOvWUOlpG

Political violence is unacceptable in a healthy democracy — as Americans, we settle our disagreements at the ballot box. We condemn the attempt on President Trump's life last night.

[The States Project @StatesProjectUS]

VA voters just rejected Trump's attempt to cement power through mid-decade redistricting. This is a big win for democracy — made possible by the governing power we helped build for state lawmakers who used it to protect voters from Trump's map rigging.

TL;DR? Focus on the states! https://t.co/wvMh8DXKmy

[The States Project @StatesProjectUS]

The forces that are trying to win elections before anyone votes don’t have complete control. Yet. We can keep it that way by focusing on the states. That’s the answer today. And tomorrow. And in November.

Are you with us? (7/7)

Trump signed an executive order restricting mail-in voting. It's unconstitutional. It will go to court. It is another tactic in Trump’s strategy to steal a congressional majority before the midterm elections. Here’s what the headlines won’t tell you. (1/7) https://t.co/I4K47IrC2l

[The States Project @StatesProjectUS]

As Trump attempts to make the mid-terms our last competitive election, we can't leave any power on the table. The state lawmakers we elect this year will control how elections run—and in most states, they'll be the same lawmakers to certify the presidential results in '28. (6/7)
