As under-resourced public servants, state legislators need support every day of the year.
In many states, legislators are part-time, paid very little (if at all), and required to drop everything to be fully available for their legislative sessions.
State Innovation Exchange (SiX) exists to advance a bold people-centered policy vision in every state in this nation and to fill a gap in the progressive movement: helping legislators succeed after they are elected.
SiX has on-the-ground State Directors—in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and—who provide deeply tailored support to legislators, especially on issues of democracy and economy.
Our online webinars and trainings give legislators and legislative staff the opportunity to learn about policy trends, research and polling.
We also convene legislators from across the country in virtual and in-person advocacy events, retreats and strategy sessions.
SiX supports legislators with earned media opportunities, sign-on letters, strategic communications, and policy-specific messaging.
We also coordinate with partner organizations to provide messaging best practices and conduct communications trainings.
