Throwback: SiX’s 2024 National Conference – A Powerful Gathering For Progressive State Leadership

It’s hard to believe nearly two months have passed since our 2024 National Conference, held December 11–13 at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta, Georgia. Last year’s conference—marking SiX’s 10th anniversary—was an incredible opportunity to convene progressive state legislators, advocates, and partners from across the country under the theme:

Irresistible Futures: Moving from Impossible to Inevitable

Focusing on co-governance, equity, and movement-building, the conference brought together 547 attendees from 45 states, including 191 legislators.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Powerful Keynote Address by Stacey Abrams and Loretta Ross

Former Georgia State Representative and national voting rights leader Stacey Abrams headlined the event, inspiring attendees with a call to action for state-level progress and collaborative governance.

Engaging Conversations & Movement Building

Breakout sessions focused on racial, gender, social, and economic justice while equipping legislators with the tools to champion progressive policies.

“Election Reflections and Charting A Path Forward Together”

Held on Day 2 of the 2024 National Conference, this powerful plenary explored how state legislative and judicial races shaped the future of reproductive rights, democracy, and governance. Now available to watch, this session featured movement leaders and legislators reflecting on the election’s outcomes and strategizing for the road ahead.
