What is the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center?
The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC) is a movement-building infrastructure organization that strengthens democracy promoting ballot measures as a tool to build and support multi-racial, multi-issue, state- based, and people-powered movements.
Why do we think this work is important?
BISC works with a wide range of movement allies to analyze and support the ballot measure landscape and develop ways to engage more people in our democracy. BISC also tracks efforts to undermine the ballot initiative process, providing strategic assistance and resources to allies on the frontlines in the fight to protect direct democracy.
