Welcome to Sister District Portland!
Harnessing the grassroots energy of the pacific Northwest, to help save the country!
With a second Trump administration under way, we need a powerful line of defense in our state legislatures to safeguard elections, advance voting rights, protect abortion access, save our environment, and more.
Sister District teams are matched with critical, winnable races in swing states around the country. We build Democratic power in the states by supporting amazing candidates in state legislatures, who can push back against the Trump administration today, and who will go on to become our next generation of federal leaders in the future.
Sister District doesn’t waste your time; we focus on only the most effective strategies that have been proven to win races, working directly with the candidates’ campaigns, and supporting them with small dollar fundraising and speaking directly to their voters. Compared to federal races, where hundreds of millions of dollars can be spent, a relatively small amount of volunteer time spent and money raised for these often under-the-radar races can have an outsized impact. These races are frequently won or lost with a handful of votes, and have even TIED in the past. The work that you do personally can literally win the election!
With over 90,000 volunteers across the nation, Sister District is one of the largest and most effective progressive grassroots organizations in the country. Our Portland team has become a leader in this fight, helping several candidates win since its founding, including BOTH of our candidates winning in 2024 (despite the unfortunate presidential loss.)
Are you ready to join us in the fight?
