About SiX

SiX works through the power of state legislators to lead boldly and decisively, driving progressive change that truly serves and represents the people.

We are committed to building a network of state legislators who are united in their vision of a better future. Through policy support, strategic advice, and capacity-building, we help create a more resilient, inclusive, and democratic society.

Collaboration enhances public engagement by bringing together diverse voices and perspectives. When people see a united front of communities and elected leaders working together, it builds credibility and inspires public trust and support. SiX's collaborative approach encourages public participation and advocacy, mobilizing to get involved, take action, and support progressive policies.


Vision

SiX envisions a future in which deeply collaborative efforts among elected officials, their constituents, and civil society leaders help create the conditions for racial, gender, social, and economic justice for all.

Mission

We make collaborative governance the dominant practice among state legislators as they govern in partnership with their constituents and civil society leaders. Collaborative governance transforms the conditions of power for people who have historically faced systemic barriers to wielding their full agency in governance processes. As a result, our governance systems will advance racial, gender, social, and economic justice for all.
“[SiX’s] mission really did fill a void. There is no basic school in how to be a legislator, in making policies, and even how to build a network.”
Rep. Stephanie Howse
Ohio State Representative
