Sister District

Sister District is a political group in the United States aiming to elect Democrats in swing statehouse districts with Republican incumbents. Safe districts provide funds and volunteers.

History
The Sister District Project is a woman-led operation founded by Rita Bosworth, Gaby Goldstein, Candis Mitchell, Lyzz Schwegler, and Lala Wu following the 2016 United States presidential election. In 2017, Sister District Project reported raising over $350,000 in small-dollar donations.

Political action
Bosworth argued more Democratic statehouses would reduce partisan gerrymandering.

Building on Tea Party movement tactics such as field organizing, identifying likely supporters, and tracking door knocking, progressive movements like Indivisible, Swing Left, and Sister District Project brought new energy to progressive grassroots organizing.

Sister District helped flip the Virginia House and Senate to Democratic control.
