Here at SDAN, we believe that building power in state legislatures also means supporting progressive state legislators and giving them the tools they need to govern. Our legislator support program includes the Purple District Network, which is the only state legislator support program that focuses exclusively on state legislators in purple districts.

Purple District Network

Legislators from purple districts face challenges and experiences in governing and campaigning that are distinct from their blue district colleagues. The Purple District Network is the only state legislator network exclusively focused on providing support to state legislators located in purple districts.

The Purple District Network is a Sister District Action Network program that uses a cohort model to build community among purple district legislators in order to share best practices, governance techniques, and strategies for being effective. Legislators in the network have access to campaign and governance resources, and connect with each other through a shared database, remote convenings with their cohorts, and an annual summit.
