SiX National Conference 2024

State legislators and advocates are on the frontlines of defending our democracy. But successfully defeating authoritarianism also requires worldbuilding strategies as much as it requires defensive tactics; we must actively build broad, multi-issue coalitions and build out an affirmative vision for a people-centered democracy. It’s our imperative, in this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, to show that states can deliver a clear path to a better future—one that will become irresistible to others when they see their own hopes and dreams in the future that we unfold. In this session, we’ll discuss what it will take for each of us to bring our vision into view and to collectively move towards a vibrant, multi-racial democracy.
