STATE ORGANISATION

From Local Action to Statewide Momentum

When local voices come together, they create something greater. State Associations unite Local Associations across each state, giving our movement coordination, strength, and influence at a larger scale.

Through State Associations, activists share successes, combine resources, and drive strategy forward. This is where local action grows into state-wide momentum.

What State Associations Do

State Associations exist to support and amplify local efforts. They:

  • Coordinate strategy across regions to build a stronger, united front.

  • Share resources, training, and campaign ideas between Local Associations.

  • Represent members in state civic and political affairs with authority.



  • Strengthen connections between communities and prevent duplication of effort.

Skills and Benefits of State-Level Organising

By linking local groups into a State Association, activists learn how to:

  • Work together across communities to align campaigns.

  • Scale successful tactics from one region to many.

  • Run larger assemblies and state-wide events.

  • Develop leadership pipelines that go beyond a single Association.



  • Build recognition and legitimacy in state politics and public life.

The Toolkit and Handbook in Action at the State Level

The same resources that build Local Associations also support State Associations:

  • The Handbook shows how to organise assemblies, delegate leadership, and run coordinated campaigns.



  • The Toolkit provides constitutional models and role guides for state-level governance, ensuring transparency and effectiveness at scale.

Your Next Step

Local action creates strength. State Associations turn that strength into real influence. When your Local Association is established, the next step is to connect with others and form a State Association.
