#WhyStatesMatter State laws provide the basis to challenge harmful federal policies. State laws create precedent that can be used to challenge federal actions. Many lawsuits against the Trump administration have been brought by state attorneys general, working with their states' legislatures.

State leaders become national leaders. The officials we elect to state office often become the candidates who will eventually run for national office. President Obama, along with 21 other previous presidents, started his political career as a state legislator. #WhyStatesMatter

Want to protect voting rights? Forget waiting on the federal government. In Virginia, flipping the legislature meant expanded early voting and making Election Day a holiday. State power matters. #VotingRights #WhyStatesMatter

Many federal laws began as state legislation. State governments serve as testing grounds for policy ideas, where successful legislation can gain momentum and eventually be adopted at the federal level. Marriage equality gained traction in states before becoming national policy. #WhyStatesMatter

#WhyStatesMatter: "More and more, the same sentiment lives in state legislatures and justice departments coast to coast. “We’re always going to err on the side of being aggressive in these cases,” Mayes says. “Sometimes that means we’re going to go it alone.”

#WhyStatesMatter After Trump's election, blue state legislatures moved to "Trump-proof" their states against the worst aspects of the MAGA agenda. They blocked attacks on reproductive rights, enacted strong environmental laws & created support programs for federal workers laid off in Musk's purge.
