If we're going to stop elected officials from engineering lopsided voting districts, first we need to stop systemic voter suppression.
President Obama knows this fight will take a collective effort. That's why he's reached out to you asking for your help to build this movement. It's going to take all of us coming together to keep our movement strong.

Friend -- We can't lose our values right now.
This fight isn't just about stopping the kind of voter suppression we saw in Georgia this month or the manipulation of voting maps that enabled it. It's also about bringing change to our communities and building a more just democracy.
Part of why we're seeing voter suppression at the polls and inaction on election reform in Congress is because elected officials who've engineered lopsided voting districts in the past know how consequential this year's elections will be.
They know they've got to win in November if they want to keep drawing up districts however suits them best.
They also know that you have the power to stop them.
We need to take concrete steps to address voter suppression. All On The Line has helped tens of thousands of people -- in all 50 states -- contact their elected officials to demand action on election protection. Will you chip in to our build momentum going into election season?

Right now, folks in places like North Carolina and Ohio are pressuring state lawmakers to support commonsense election reform. This kind of direct advocacy can go a long way as these states debate how to administer elections in the midst of a pandemic. If we want to see safe, fair, and accessible elections this fall, we need to advocate for solutions like vote-by-mail, early-vote, and online voter registration.
Stopping voter suppression is not just about protecting elections this year. It's also about passing commonsense election reform -- a step that will be consequential for the next decade. Will you help fund this fight, friend?
