Partnered with Oregon on a historic victory
RepresentUs partnered with OregonRCV and more than 35 diverse organizations to achieve a historic bipartisan RCV win.
This is the first time in American history where a legislature in the US has referred a statewide Ranked Choice Voting bill to the ballot, giving Oregonians the chance to vote on this meaningful democracy reform in November 2024.
United the movement at ADS
1,000+ democracy advocates and more than 400 organizations came to American Democracy Summit in September, fostering cross-ideological collaboration and building towards our next round of victories.
Trained a new generation of leaders
RepresentUs launched our Campaign Catalyst Training Series in 2023 where we piloted 3 new training projects aimed at leveling up the skills of leaders. Collaborating with key partners, we spearheaded the creation and release of the definitive RCV implementation guide equipping democracy practitioners with essential tools.
A Year of Impact
Over 1 million calls and texts
RepresentUs supporters and volunteers reached key voters in key states at key times to help push campaigns over the finish line.
Doubled meaningful signups for the movement
Through engaging content and timely advocacy actions, we drew thousands of new supporters into the movement to supercharge our work.
23 million social media impressions
With campaigns featuring the pop-icon Sia and everyone’s favorite corrupt politician Honest Gil, RepresentUs went viral this year and spread our pro-democracy message to millions of Americans.
2023 was a good year for democracy. 2024 needs to be even better.
The 2024 election will consume most of the country’s attention, but that doesn’t mean we’ll deviate from our successful strategy of winning structural reforms, city by city, state by state.
With your help, we’ll continue to give voters more voice, stand up to to big money special interests and power-hungry lawmakers, and demand better democracy.
