About State Voices
State Voices is a national network of permanent, nonpartisan, state-based coalitions working to create a more accessible, inclusive, and representative democracy by amplifying the voices of traditionally marginalized and underrepresented communities, often referred to as the New American Majority, and building the strength of the organizations and leaders that serve them.
Since 2008, State Voices has pioneered a new approach to civic engagement and social change at the state-level. By employing collective impact – where change agents from different sectors come together to accomplish shared goals – we strengthen grassroots efforts to achieve solutions that no one group could achieve on its own. In this way, State Voices serves as the backbone organization for our collective impact model in states, guiding the vision and strategy of the network, leveraging national resources, and ensuring coordination and communications.
Our 784 state, local, or national affiliate partners are organized into "tables" in the following states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and California through the San Diego Metropolitan Area table. We also train and support an additional 214 partner groups in "non-table" states through our Tools For All Program.
State Voices provides the organizations in our network with the tools and support they need to help create a healthy and thriving democracy. We advance this work through three (3) national programs: Civic Engagement (voter registration, GOTV, issue advocacy and constituency engagement), Civic Access (voting rights and election administration) and Civic Representation (census, redistricting and "money in politics").
