We believe there is no force more powerful than people taking collective action on the things they care about.
Our (grass) roots taught us to think differently.
Blue State got its start on the campaign trail, pioneering the use of digital technology to open up the democratic process.

Now we’re a tight-knit group of strategists, technologists, makers and producers across five cities, who partner with forward-thinking organizations to build a better world.
