BISC strengthens democracy by building a national progressive strategy for ballot measures.
About us
The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC), a 501(c)(4) organization, is the only progressive organization that works across the many policy, organizing, and political organizations, with local, state, and national players to analyze and support the ballot measure landscape. We work with groups to develop the best overall strategy, and support funders and partners to make the best investments. Our relationships with organizations and funders, whether they are focused on short-term campaigns or long-term movement building, make us the only organization that bridges the many gaps in a crowded space. No other national organization or network is solely focused on the strategy of running the best ballot measure campaigns or aligning ballot measure campaign efforts across sectors and networks to ensure the most effective use of resources and the greatest impact. We support the campaigns, the state tables, in-state grassroots organizations, and funders alike with important strategic guidance, due diligence and analysis, while training advocates and practitioners in real time – from first time organizers to the most seasoned campaign operatives.

It will take TWO votes this November to end Nebraska’s abortion ban. Voters need to: Vote AGAINST Initiative Measure 434 ❌ Vote FOR Initiative Measure 439 ✅ That's because NE's abortion rights amendment and its anti-abortion countermeasure survived a combined total of three lawsuits in the final weeks leading up to the finalization of the state’s ballots. Such legal battles are becoming more common as progressive issues continue to win with voters. Learn more below + visit ProtectOurRights.com to join the movement to #ProtectOurRights!
