A States Project Giving Circle
About our group
Resisting, persisting in defense of democracy.
The ReSisters Giving Circle is currently raising EARLY MONEY to help jumpstart Democratic state legislative campaigns and groundwork for the fiercely critical November 2026 elections. An announcement of which state or states we will support will be made shortly.
In the meantime, since early money is sometimes the deciding factor, the States Project is offering a ONE FOR ONE MATCH period from January 12 through Friday, March 20 at 11:59pm PT or until the match funds are all allocated. Your donation NOW counts double!
The ReSisters Giving Circle is immensely proud to have helped achieve the Democratic landslide in Virginia in 2025, in which Dems flipped 13 seats in the Virginia House of Delegates to create the largest majority in the chamber since 1987 and a Democratic trifecta. Most of the races were won by very small margins, arguably making The States Project work pivotal.
In 2023, we helped Virginia Dems defend the slimmest possible Democratic majority in the Senate and win one seat control of the House, by just 975 votes, giving them power to block the Republican Governor’s agenda.
In 2022, ReSisters helped Democrats flip four seats in each chamber in Michigan (turning both chambers blue) and build power in Arizona. Our support for those states in 2024 helped Dems to defend seats and continue to expand the on the ground infrastructure invaluable to races up and down the ballot.
State governments are now intensely important to resist destructive national policies and obstruct Republican extremism. States have been collaborative and innovative in devising workaround strategies to protect their citizens and will be key to ensuring fair elections and certification of votes.
The States Project is the only organization dedicated exclusively to winning Democratic state legislative power and helping lawmakers govern effectively. Since its founding in 2017, it has been proven to increase Dem vote share and has often been dramatically successful in shifting the balance of power.
- A state legislative campaign usually costs less than 3% of a competitive U.S. Senate race and a variable fraction of a Congressional one.
- State races are often decided by just a few hundred or few thousand votes.
- 100% of Giving Circle funds for electoral work goes to the states.
GIVE SMART, GIVE STRATEGICALLY. A donation is one of the best, most impactful political investments you can make.

We sincerely thank you for whatever contributions you can make.

About us
In April 2023, we were deeply saddened to report the untimely death of Lynda Myles, founder of ReSisters, the political activist group that gave rise to the ReSisters Giving Circle at The States Project. Lynda was a loving, accomplished, engaging woman who cared deeply about her country and inspired us all to work together to protect our democracy. In her honor, we rededicate ourselves to the fight and we welcome donations in tribute to her spirit.
The ReSisters group was convened by Lynda in 2016 in New York City to support Democratic candidates and promote progressive policies. Members meet weekly to exchange and discuss political information, write postcards and letters, march, call, lobby, donate, canvass, and generally agitate for a democratic agenda.
In September 2022, we initiated the ReSisters Giving Circle to raise funds through The States Project. We began with a goal of $5,000, met it in 48 hours, and increased it twice in that cycle. Since then, our small group and the nearly 200 friends and family members who have donated have been grateful to have this very effective way to take action.
