Governing today requires more than good ideas. It takes trusted relationships, practical tools, and the ability to work across differences. SiX exists to make that work easier and more powerful for state legislators across the country.
Connect with fellow legislators facing similar challenges and opportunities.
Policy research, strategy support, and real-world guidance you can use immediately.
Support that centers people, communities, and long-term impact.

SiX partners with state legislators across the country to strengthen leadership, build collaboration, and deliver people-centered policy. Our work is national in reach and grounded in the real needs of lawmakers and communities.
We create spaces where legislators can learn, connect, and lead alongside peers—grounded in trust, mutual support, and the realities of governing.
We provide policy, strategy, and skills that help lawmakers act boldly and responsibly in moments that matter.
We connect legislators across states and sectors to turn shared values into durable policy and systems change.
Across the country, legislators work with SiX to move from shared challenges to shared solutions. By connecting leaders across states, issues, and movements, we help lawmakers return home better equipped to lead and to win.
In practice, this looks like:
“SiX is an invaluable resource to policymakers, to helping us create legislation that will have real impact on peoples life, but that we can also work through tough legislative environments.”
"[SiX has] come in, not only providing me with the expertise and the resources as far as what's going on in other states on this issue, but really helping me mobilize, organize, and educate farmers and legislators in my state in a way that we can get legislation passed."
“I’m so thankful for SiX for reaching out to us, for bringing us to the Supreme Court. We have one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and we’re life flighting women out of the state.”
“They have a mission that is transformative, not transactional. This is an organization that I feel [is] setting the stage and having the conversations necessary to radically transform our society.”
"I think it's uplifting to be in a space like [SiX's National Conference]. It removes the isolation you face being in a committee where you're the only person that looks like you, the only person that thinks like you, but know that you have friends and movement family in other states who are serving as well, I think it's really critical."
“I’m so thankful for SiX for reaching out to us, for bringing us to the Supreme Court. We have one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and we’re life flighting women out of the state.”
