Protecting our democracy starts in the states. Since 2020, The States Project has warned that American democracy is in danger, that Trump was planning to steal the presidency, and that rightwing state legislatures were the lynchpin in his plan. We invested an unprecedented nearly $60 million in state legislative efforts. With your help, we can block radical state lawmakers from ignoring their own voters and hand selecting the next president of the United States.

Work with us in the states
Over the past 40 years, the radical rightwing has invested millions of dollars to build—and hold—state governing majorities, and we see the terrible impact of that investment every day.
Banning reproductive healthcare by inserting rightwing politicians into conversations between a woman and her doctor. Dismantling free and fair elections in swing states and suppressing the right to vote to silence the voices of those who disagree, especially Black and Brown people. Denying people quality, affordable healthcare, even in the middle of a pandemic. Poisoning clean water by giving big polluters the right to destroy our lakes, rivers, and oceans.
State legislatures drive every issue that impacts your daily life. If we want to move our country past the tyranny of a radical, self-interested minority, the work begins in the states.

“I want to thank The States Project for all of your support throughout the campaign. We’ve been able to develop a fantastic digital and mail plan for our campaign to be able to reach as many voters as possible. And not only that, we’ve really been able to reach voters in their homes, and we know that in this district where it’s so tight and the margins are this thin, that’s really going to make the difference.”
Senator Eva Burch, Arizona LD-9
