Hey Diane,
When we launched All On The Line earlier this year, it was just me, a few scribbles that I called a plan, and the faith that this movement would pick up the torch to tackle gerrymandering. Now our team has grown to a dozen staffers across the country who are ready to organize the fight for fair maps. This is all thanks to the support of folks like you who believed in this cause and donated.
I know the dream I have to end map manipulation is possible because we've done this type of work together before. First, we find a strong base of support. Then, we build strong neighborhood teams that organize their communities in support of progress. And in 2021, we mobilize to hold map drawers accountable.
Our new Training Director, Mallory, reached out last week with details on how we're planning to make this dream a reality. She set an end-of-month goal of raising $50,000 for our training program so we can recruit, train, and organize our volunteers. Can we count on your support to reach our goal?
I was lucky enough to be in Chicago when President Obama said in his farewell address that if something needs fixing, we need to lace up our shoes and do some organizing. I heard him loud and clear. It's no secret that gerrymandering needs to be confronted -- now it's up to all of us to step up and fuel this organizing movement for fair maps.

Subject: This is how we build a movement
Hey Team -- I'm Mallory and I just joined the All On The Line team as the Training Director.
When we say we're building a strong grassroots movement across the nation, we mean it. The All On The Line team is growing and we have folks on the ground across the country who know your states, know the redistricting landscape, know the path to creating real change.
That's why I was so excited to kick off my new role here with an All On The Line team retreat! Our team, including folks like Liz from Wisconsin, Gen from Texas, and Theron from Georgia, came together this week to map out our game plan for fair maps.
There's not a one size fits all solution to fixing gerrymandering that will work in every state. But across the country, there's one thing that remains the same: grassroots organizing.
When President Obama called on you to help build a movement for progress -- whether to expand access to quality, affordable health care, or fight for common-sense gun legislation, or take action to combat climate change -- you answered the call. So, you know better than anyone the impact organizing can have, but also how much a campaign depends on regular folks to volunteer their time and donate money to train, recruit, and mobilize its volunteers.
I have big plans for our training program. I want to help educate as many folks as possible on the basics of redistricting and the tactics we'll be using to build a movement and hold elected officials accountable. Will you help me make these training dreams come true by making a contribution to All On The Line ahead of our end-of-month deadline?
Whether we're calling elected officials, advocating for reform, or making sure we have an accurate census count, we need to build a strong volunteer base to make it happen.
That's where I come in! Want to learn how to write a letter to the editor? I'll have a guide for that! Interested in organizing a meeting with an elected official? I'll host a webinar for that! Want to get connected with activists in your state? We'll have in-person trainings for that!
Some folks have been community organizers for decades. And others are just getting in the game now. No matter when your organizing story began, the tools, technology, and resources to make an impact in our communities are always changing -- which is why I'm here as a resource!
At the end of the day, our ability to make an impact relies on our budget. Will you make a donation to help the AOTL training program before our end-of-month deadline?
Spending time with our AOTL State Directors this week got me really fired up and ready to organize. And I'm excited to help train the crew of grassroots organizers who will be fighting to save democracy and achieve fair maps.
Let's go do this thing!
