Great ad from our VA candidate, @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social, "I know how to take out the trash".

Virginia: Polls are now open! Early Vote just started TODAY. Make sure you have a plan to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot NOW through November 4. www.pwcvotes.org

People most impacted by hate deserve to lead the fight. That is why Sister District prioritizes such candidates and helps them tell their stories. Read about this year's candidates: www.sisterdistrictsouthbay.com/candidates.h...

There are always elections. Next Tuesday: Georgia State Senate (SD-21) and Arizona Congressional District 7.

James Walkinshaw’s special election victory last week was the latest in a string of Democrats beating the odds and outperforming trends from 2017. Democrats won or overperformed in 42 out of 43 key elections this year. They overperformed by 16 points in special elections, up from 12 points in 2017.

The Electing Women Alliance and WomenCount invite you to join Electing Women National Capital Region (EWNCR), CareGIVERS, EMILYs List, Her Bold Move, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, Red Wine & Blue, Sister District Project, Virginia’s List and Vote Mama to support 1/2

From our alum:

Call with us to win Virginia! We'll teach you how, it's very easy!

Never say your vote doesn't count! In 2016, New Mexico House of Representatives seat for 29th District was won by just 9 votes.

Virginians continue to make their priorities VERY clear: lack of housing is a problem and 84% of people want action. Democrats know the answer: supply! It’s time to build more quality homes to support working families. www.wvtf.org/news/2025-09...

#WhyStatesMatter State laws provide the basis to challenge harmful federal policies. State laws create precedent that can be used to challenge federal actions. Many lawsuits against the Trump administration have been brought by state attorneys general, working with their states' legislatures.

"If you work 40 hours a week, you should be able to put a roof over your head". Our candidate @lesliemehta.bsky.social talking about a living wage.

In 2024, Sister District volunteers made 2,074,595 voter contacts. Phones, postcards, doors: all these human connections that tip close races. #StatesMatter #OrganizingWorks. Join us!

A lot of politicians get their start at the state level. Current US Senator from CT @blumenthal.senate.gov was elected to CT House of Representatives in 1984 (and CT Senate in 1987).

Our candidate @lilyfordelegate.bsky.social, literally giving candy to literal babies. How can you not love her? From Lily: "No one fights for workers like unions. This Labor Day, let’s celebrate living wages, safer workplaces, and all the other victories unions have fought for all workers."

At least 3,615 elections are happening across the country in September. Make sure you are registered to vote now at WhenWeAllVote.org.

I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.

Sorry, "nice guy," we will win in VA & the Virginia Way will no longer mean "prioritiz[ing] donors’ interests over constituents, enabled by the commonwealth’s nearly unfettered campaign finance laws and lax ethics rules." GOP policies harm Virginians. Not nice. (virginiamercury.com/2025/09/02/v...)

"Nothing prepares you for a sick child" from our VA candidate for HD-73 @lesliemehta.bsky.social

Send love to our alum, current lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, running for governor! States is where it's at! Local, then statewide, then national - that's how we build long-term infrastructure for change.

Amazing!

Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. -- John Stuart Mill, 1867.

Why volunteer for Sister District? Because we’re effective. In 2024, 62% of our top targeted candidates' calls came from Sister District. In MI, we supported candidates in 8 races, 6 of which were decided by less than a 10% margin. Join us!

These are really great practices for any grassroots organization!! Good resource!

History is clear: when the powerful want control, they start by silencing workers. Trump attacked union rights. So have GOP state legislatures. This Labor Day, we stand with organizers. And we elect allies in the states.

PODCAST: The Voting Rights Act is under attack. What does that mean for our democracy? Join experts as they explore the law’s origins and what it will take to strengthen its protections. Listen: bit.ly/49ExMSe

Never give up, never surrender! Thank you!

One person's individual impact on the state level is so much stronger than on the national level. Join us! Thank you for the shoutout, @canebay-randall.bsky.social !

If you want to feel good about our country, look to the states.

From our @jetforva.bsky.social: "It was a pleasure to join the Virginia Women and Family Support Center for a ribbon cutting of their newest facility! As Delegate, I have carried and supported bills enhancing maternal health, and am thrilled to see it prioritized here in western PWC. "

Proud to join @protectparks.bsky.social and stand up to protect our national parks from corporate greed. America’s heritage and historic places are not for sale!

It’s amazing what persistence (and a lot of phone shifts) can do. More to come. Thanks for the shoutout!

Downballot organizing changes lives. Since 2016, Dem majorities grew from 29 to nearly 40. #StatesMatter #OrganizingWorks.

We all did it, everyone who called, wrote postcards, donated, etc. The action is in the states, the action is with the volunteers, everyday people who aren't going to just take it.

Thanks for the shoutout! It feels great to put in the work and win!

Thank you! We all did it, and we'll keep doing it: we must win more state victories, before 2026!

Two votes, just 2 votes made a difference. In 2006, Oklahoma House of Representatives District 25 was won by just 2 votes.

Thank you for the shoutout!

Thanks for the shoutout!

Sister District doesn’t just endorse candidates. We research what works. We support our candidates by supplementing their fieldwork and fundraising. We do it year after year to build state power and a pipeline of amazing candidates.

States run elections. States with Democrats run better. Voting is secure and it matters.

Don't give up the fight in the states

Thank you for the shoutout!

One of top issues in Josh Thomas's district; he's been fighting to protect the people.

This Why Down Ballot Wednesday, we’re featuring the history of California legislators solidifying climate protection. Down-ballot races matter. Let’s give them the attention they deserve. #downballot #StatehouseSpotlight #LocalLeadersMatter

Just $200 keeps a campaign manager on the job for a full day—strategizing, coordinating, and moving our candidates closer to victory. Pitch in and power one more day.

Last day!!

When the current US Senator from NH Maggie Hassan first ran for NH State Senate in 2002, she lost. She was then elected in 2004 and served in the NH Senate from 2004-2010, incl. as a Majority Leader. #WhyStatesMatter
