About GovAct

Governors Action Alliance (GovAct) is a fiscally sponsored nonprofit nonpartisan initiative that helps Governors work across state lines to champion fundamental freedoms and improve people's lives. GovAct serves as a centralized platform for collaboration across Governors’ Offices—incubating, launching, and supporting alliances of Governors. These alliances share cutting-edge policy and legal approaches to some of the most challenging and critical issues we face, from reproductive freedom, democracy, public safety, and public health.

Currently, GovAct supports the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, Governors Safeguarding Democracy, the Governors Public Health Alliance, and other Governor collaborations, including convenings, discussion series, and task forces. Specifically, GovAct helps:

  • Build capacity and expertise by connecting experts across Governors' Offices and organizations, tailoring best practices, model policies, and legislation, and advancing other legal and policy innovations for Governors to advance bold policies;

  • Develop innovative ideas for collaboration by breaking out of silos and advancing creative initiatives;

  • Advance affirmative agendas for Governors to maximize their powers to protect fundamental freedoms and counteract federal overreach; and

  • Partner with advocacy organizations and other stakeholders.
