SiX National Conference 2024
Thursday December 12, 2024 9:00am - 10:15am EST
We’re gathering just weeks after one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes. While much of the national attention has been focused on control of the White House and Congress, some of the most important races of the year have been at the state level—from protecting abortion rights on the ballot to breaking up minority rule through state legislative and judicial races. This panel of leaders will reflect on what the election results mean for the future of governance in the states, and discuss the work that lies ahead of our movements.
