About BISC
Ballot-measure campaigns affect everything progressives fight for. But for the past forty years, the Right has dominated the ballot-measure process, harming our communities and forcing us to fight costly and diversionary defensive campaigns.
The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC, a 501(c)(4) organization) is changing this dynamic. BISC strengthens democracy by building a national progressive strategy for ballot measures.
We recognize that ballot measures are a permanent part of the political process, and that strategic, well-crafted measures can be powerful tools for progressive change – to advance good policies, turn out key voters, frame the issues in elections and build our movement's infrastructure in states.
As the only national progressive organization focused exclusively on ballot measures, BISC is ideally positioned to act as a neutral and trusted third party, providing expert guidance, facilitating collaboration and promoting strategic investment, for the benefit of the entire progressive movement.
Equal employment opportunity and having a diverse staff are fundamental principles at BISC, where employment and promotional opportunities are based upon individual capabilities and qualifications without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, sexual orientation, age, national origin, marital status, citizenship, disability, veteran status or any other protected characteristic as established under law.
