Help SD build power in the states: "Spanberger’s strength has been showing Virginians just how quickly their state government can start working again once obstructive Republicans have been cleared out of the system."
Virginia shows Democrats a real path forward
It’s been little more than a week since Abigail Spanberger was sworn in as Virginia’s first female governor, and it’s clear the state’s Democratic Party isn’t wasting time flexing its power.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade—a ruling that affirmed women’s right to have control over our own bodies.

Four years ago, a MAGA-influenced Supreme Court overturned it. Women now have fewer rights, and many have died after being denied essential reproductive healthcare.

Sister District candidates run in some of the most competitive state legislative districts in the country — districts where grassroots organizing matters and where early support can be the difference between winning and falling short. Help support them!

Big Tech designs addiction for their profit, and our kids pay the price. Kids are increasingly exposed to unregulated AI chatbots, data mining, predatory content, and addictive algorithms. Sen. Camilleri and MI Senate Dems are taking action to keep our kids safe online and hold Big Tech accountable.

Today headlines focus on flipping the U.S. House. That matters for blocking harm. But with Trump in office until 2029, real progress will be won in the states. We are targeting key, winnable state legislative races, especially where federal races overlap. These chambers will shape lives for years.

Our Sister District South Bay alums fight for their communities.
I am so excited to start the 2nd session of the 75th General Assembly! My first bill, HB26-1027, was introduced on the first day. This bill is in partnership with rural school districts, working to ensure educators can continue working in their field of expertise without losing access to benefits.🧑‍🏫

The people who are anxious about this should funnel those anxieties to either their local race of choice in 2024 or sister district.
if i want water from the sink, i have to turn on the faucet. if i want to ride my bike, i have to pedal and engage the gears. there is a mechanism. my point is that there is no *mechanism* by which elections can be canceled. it's not about norms, it is about how things work.

There are always elections.
I’m watching elections this Tuesday (yup, it never ends).

One is a rare GOP pick-up opportunity, in a CT district Harris carried by single digits.

The second is an Alabama special election the GOP is defending.

The third is the start of a Florida special DeSantis tried delaying.

Details here!

I volunteer at Sister District Project (since 2017); elections MATTER, and it absolutely starts with state legislatures.

Only 6 Dem trifectas in 2016 after Karl Rove’s Redmap gerrymandered 1,000 seats away: today, we have nearly tripled with 16, after VA’s massive blue sweep in November.

I think Sister District does it well. But they build bonds with particular candidates/campaigns/districts & work with them over many months, not just a quick drop-in around Oct 25th.

As the year winds down, I keep thinking about how much people are carrying right now. Between rising costs, busy schedules, and everything else life throws at us, it shouldn’t be this hard to just get by. We have the chance to do something about it. 2026, here we come.

This is pretty shameful: Just a couple of months ago, Michigan's divided government reached a budget deal. Now Republicans in the House are unilaterally cutting spending, saying they are eliminating fraud and abuse. This includes a program to help mothers with new borns
