State Voices

State Voices, founded in 2004 and based in Washington, D.C., is a nonpartisan affiliated network of 25 state-based coalitions called “State Tables” that work with over 1,200 grassroots organizations to break down barriers to civic participation and to bring underrepresented and marginalized populations – and their issues – to the center of public discourse. State Tables connect these groups to one another and to organizations from different sectors, creating multicultural, multi-issue coalitions that can leverage their collective power to fight for a healthy democracy and political power for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, and all people of color. This grant provides State Voices with flexible support for general operations.

State Voices is a multiracial, multiethnic and multicultural community of advocates, activists and organizers committed to building people power to transform the lives of the communities it works within. Its network of nonpartisan state coalitions, called “Tables,” works with hundreds of grassroots organizations to break down barriers to civic participation and to bring underrepresented and marginalized populations – and their issues – to the center of public discourse. State Voices Tables connect these groups to one another and to organizations from different sectors, creating multicultural, multi-issue coalitions that can leverage their collective power to transform democracy. In addition, the organization is seen as a trusted leader and provider of civic engagement data, technology, and tools to conduct civic engagement.
