Ballot Initiative Strategy Center

BISC

Washington D.C., United States

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

BISC’s mission is to strengthen democracy by implementing a national progressive strategy for ballot measures rooted in building state-based power. They do this by: Tracking the ballot measure landscape; providing assistance to ballot measures campaigns; protecting the ballot measure process; training ballot measure advocates across the country; designing and providing research; and convening and facilitating collaboration
