Diane, The fight for a strong, healthy democracy never stops, and it takes all of us doing our part. No one understands that better than President Barack Obama. If you won't take it from us, take it from President Obama himself: we can't win our fight for a fairer democracy without your help. So can you fuel this fight alongside President Obama and chip in to our work for fair maps? This work is urgent because everywhere you look — from the federal level all the way down to the local level — our democracy is under attack. Over and over again, Republicans are launching partisan attempts to gerrymander our legislative maps, disenfranchise communities of color, and bend our democracy in their favor. So long as that is the case, we have to keep up the heat and fight back against these attempts with everything we've got. Every day gives our movement another chance to tilt the scales in favor of justice. And as President Obama said, this fight requires all of us to come together.
In this era of perpetual battles to protect our democracy, we have to stay vigilant and engaged. But with people like you and President Obama on our side, we can continue coming out on top. Thanks, Diane. — NDRC

Saturday, March 30, 2024A.G. Holder’s note
This is incredible, Diane! So many of you have stepped up since A.G. Holder emailed yesterday about the progress we're making toward our upcoming fundraising deadline. You know what's at stake. In a critical election year, we're laser-focused on fighting for the fairest maps in generations. And we have our work cut out for us. Thank you, From: Eric H. Holder, Jr. Date: Fri, Mar 29, 2024 Subject: Remember that feeling?
Friday, March 29, 2024Remember that feeling?
Diane, I want you to take a moment with me and think about the first time you learned about gerrymandering — think about how you felt when you realized just how obviously wrong and backward it is to have such a thing in a representative democracy. If you're anything like me, you might remember asking yourself, "How could our system allow for such blatant manipulation?" But instead of choosing to let that feeling disillusion us or make us cynical, we chose to do something about it. When President Obama and I joined forces to launch All On The Line five years ago, it was with the goal of pushing back against a broken status quo, and building a more representative democracy for all Americans. You've been right there with us, and that's truly powerful.
I don't need to be the one to tell you that partisan and racial gerrymandering offend the very notion of fairness. And I surely don't need to be the one to tell you that the work to counter these dangerous attempts to unravel our democracy is challenging, slow, and often frustrating. But perhaps I can assure you that with a special combination of grit and grace, a movement like ours can be successful in building toward something better. That's why I'm so grateful to have you by our side. You understand what's at stake and are willing to do the hard work necessary to win – right along with us. Thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for being with us. Eric H. Holder, Jr.
All On The Line is the grassroots advocacy campaign supported by the National Redistricting Action Fund. Support our work to end gerrymandering.
