Our Culture
Our network envisions a healthy multiracial democracy where everyone is free and able to live in their full dignity. In this world, our people have agency and the resources they need to live and thrive.
It is our commitment to make sure we are modeling the values we’re fighting for in the outside world, within our own network. This starts with how we treat one another, how we learn together, and how we engage around topics about freedom and liberation.

Caring for Our People
We all deserve care and dignity. That’s why State Voices regularly finds time for workers to rest, experimenting with having multiple Fridays off, having open discussions about balancing life and work, and experimenting with Wellness Wednesdays.

Learning and Growing Together
Freedom will take all of us, and we all have our special set of skills, interests, and talents that deserve to be highlighted and invested in. That’s why we provide significant professional development funds to all our staff to support people in their growth.

Committing to Racial and Gender Justice
It’s important that we share a commitment to growing and learning about racial and gender justice, and that we create safer spaces for marginalized people. During our convenings, we hold anti-oppression trainings and workshops to challenge ourselves to be more inclusive.

Changing Hearts and Minds Through Art
When it comes to democracy, our values, and changing hearts and minds, nothing reaches people quite like art. That’s why our network takes every opportunity we can to create and share art with a message, like with our Freedom Arts Collaborative.

Equity:
At the core of State Voices’ sustainable work culture is a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, background, or sexual orientation, can thrive and contribute.
