The Sister District Project was formed to counterbalance that exact problem: the effects of rigged gerrymandering. They are harnessing the power of activists in deeply blue districts and channeling it where it can make a real impact. Metropolitan cities like San Francisco and New York or college towns tend to lean heavily Democrat. Whereas rural districts, like most of the country, are dispersed red districts that are cut off from much of the mainstream politicking. Sister District is changing that by looking towards 2020 as an opportunity to turn state legislatures blue, and ensure a fair redistricting process. Give a few minutes to support their work, and take a look at their endorsed candidates.
EMILY’s List is the largest and most prominent organization supporting Democratic women in politics, providing everything from training to fundraising. Founded by Ellen R. Malcolm in 1985, EMILY was originally an acronym, “Early Money Is Like Yeast” paying homage to the fundraising principle that early money is the hardest to get, and is used as a proof of concept early on. EMILY’s List is behind some of the biggest electoral victories for women in U.S history, helping elect over 100 women to the House, 23 to the Senate, 12 to the Governor’s Mansion, and 100s to state legislatures. As of 2016, the community is over 5 million strong.

Using redistricting and voter suppression laws, the GOP has been able to successfully guide directions in their favor since 2010. Flippable was launched to address that problem by focusing on mobilization around state legislatures.
