Learn more about the 2022 midterms and multiracial democracy.The State Voices Affiliated Network is a nonpartisan infrastructure of permanent state-based affiliates called “State Tables,” advocates, and organizers across the country.
We work together to fight for a healthy democracy and political power with Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), and all people of color (BIPOC).
Together, we’ll create a world where every vote counts, every vote is heard, and every need is met. We do this work with Our Team and Our Partners.
