We’re building the movement to flip states blue and fix our country’s democracy—and now we’re a member of the @swingleft family!

Texas leads the country in the number of uninsured people, but still hasn't expanded Medicaid during this pandemic. We’re so proud to have supported 2018 Flippable alum @BucyForTexas, who hasn’t stopped fighting for Medicaid expansion since his first day in office. #txlege.

Last week, Michigan state lawmakers approved a plan to finance the proposed $600-million-plus payment to partially settle claims between the state and residents of Flint over contaminated drinking water. Now the settlement awaits approval from this judge.

U.S. District Judge Judith Levy said she hopes to issue an opinion by mid-January on whether to give preliminary approval to the proposed settlement.

Texas State Rep. and Flippable alum @jamestalarico is putting students first by providing schools with the funding needed to improve mental-health support. His bill is especially important during a pandemic that is threatening the emotional well-being of so many young people.
Kids aren’t just suffering academically, they’re suffering emotionally. I’ve filed HB 332 to open up millions of $ to help schools:. ✅Hire more counselors.✅Train staff in trauma-informed care.✅Create social-emotional programs. Human needs come before academic needs. #txlege

Arizona voters passed Proposition 208 this November, taxing the state’s highest earners to provide revenue for teachers' salaries—currently among the lowest in the nation. But the GOP is ignoring their constituents and suing to undo the measure. #AZleg

#SCOTUS recently declined to hear a case against school policies that recognize trans students’ gender identities. While this is a win, trans youth rights are still under attack in the states as well as the courts, as @chasestrangio points out.

This week saw a big win for the people of Michigan and criminal justice reform. The state Senate passed several bills aimed at ending the criminalization and needless incarceration of people who can’t afford to pay fines related to minor driving offenses.

Last year, Flippable alum @DelRodWillett helped Democrats flip Virginia blue by winning election in one of the six defensive districts we targeted. Now we’re proud to see him named as Virginia’s House of Delegates Freshman Legislator of the Year. Congratulations Del. Willett! 🎉.
I'm honored and humbled to be recognized by @VAChamber as the 2020 Freshman Delegate of the year. Looking forward to continuing our work to make Virginia the best state for businesses and workers!.

In a 60-35 vote, the Ohio State House just passed Senate Bill 27 requiring those who have a surgical abortion to bury or cremate fetal remains. The bill will head to the State Senate next week and go to Governor DeWine’s desk if approved.

Flippable alums get things done! Colorado State Senators @JessieDanielson, @Story4CO, and @FaithWinterCO passed several bills this week allocating over $300 million for COVID-19 relief, including Sen. Story’s food bank grants and Sen. Winter’s small business loans. #coleg.
Our special session concluded today, securing $300M in relief for rent, child care, small business loans, food pantries, increased internet access and emergency funding to help Coloradans through the next few months of this crisis. #coleg #COVID19

As the 2020 election season comes to a close, all eyes are on Georgia. But an effective giving strategy goes beyond donating to Democratic candidates. With Blueprint, you can invest in essential nonpartisan civic organizations too. Take a look:
