Diane -- I wanted to make sure you saw President Obama's email from earlier this week. In his message, he reminds us that democracy works best when power resides with the people. That belief is at the core of our organizing work at All On The Line.
That's why we -- and the organizer-in-chief President Obama -- launched Redistricting U. We want to empower people to really use their voice in the redistricting process in their state.
Help us engage and empower grassroots organizers by becoming a Founding Member of Redistricting U.
Transparency is the key to a fair redistricting process. Keeping map drawing in the dark only benefits politicians and special interests who want to manipulate the lines for their own benefit.
At Redistricting U, folks will learn about who is responsible for drawing maps in their state and how they can hold those folks accountable. This training initiative is one of the first steps in our effort to build a fair, transparent process.
As President Obama said, the foundation of successful organizing starts with good training. We're relying on folks like you to step up and make a donation to help fund this training initiative -- so I hope you'll join this effort as a Founding Member.
Thank you for helping us train the next generation of organizers in our fight for change!

Friend,
Over the years, we've proven that change can happen when ordinary people come together and organize their communities -- and in the process, we've learned that the foundation of successful organizing starts with good training. That's why I'm proud to announce Redistricting U, a new in-person organizing training initiative from All On The Line.
For Redistricting U, All On The Line is sending dedicated trainers to cities across the country to train volunteers, give them the skills and tools they need to impact the redistricting process, empower them as leaders in the movement for fair maps, and hear their ideas about approaches that will work best in their communities.
Because if we want to achieve the change we seek, we'll need a strong, well-trained grassroots organizing movement leading the charge. So, I hope you'll donate today and become a Redistricting U Founding Member.
We know there's no one-size-fits-all solution to map manipulation. That's why Redistricting U will take place in your local communities, and it's why these trainings are designed to be responsive to the conditions on the ground in your state.
For instance, in places like Colorado and Arizona, folks will learn how to best advocate in front of independent redistricting commissions. In Texas and Florida, we'll focus on making sure we "get out the count" for the 2020 Census, so that the maps drawn during the 2021 redistricting process actually reflect the communities they represent. In California, volunteers will learn how to maximize their impact in states across the country.
I've always believed that training is at the heart of organizing. It's why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since. And it's why I'm asking you to become a Founding Member of Redistricting U -- to help make sure we can keep producing the best, most effective trainings to strengthen all of our efforts moving forward.
As a Redistricting U Founding Member, you'll be the first to know when we announce trainings in your state. So, I hope you'll donate today and become a part of the team that makes this training initiative possible.
The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade. And we can't wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up -- right now.
Thanks, as always, for everything you do,
Barack Obama
