State Voices operates as a national network built from the states, supporting grassroots organizations to win civic engagement victories and build long-term political power. Since 2008, it has pursued collective impact by bolstering partner capacity through data analysis and shared resources, while elevating the voices of marginalized communities. The network comprises 24 state tables and more than 1,200 partner organizations, and it pursues its mission through three national programs: Civic Engagement, Civic Access, and Civic Representation. These programs address voter participation, voting rights and election administration, and census and redistricting, all with a focus on advancing racial equity. Based in Washington, DC, State Voices operates year-round to counter disenfranchisement of communities of color, young adults, LGBTQ people, and women, and a recent development is its October 2023 partnership with the Institute for a Progressive Nevada to create VoteSmartNV.org, a nonpartisan voter guide.
