Diane -- In some of our target states, conservative map drawers are already conjuring up some of the most gerrymandered maps we've ever seen.
This week in Ohio, the Republican-controlled Ohio Redistricting Commission passed maps that give Republicans supermajorities in the state legislature -- even though Republicans only won just 54% of the statewide vote share in the last decade.
A.G. Holder warned that conservative map drawers would manipulate the process and the final maps if we don't speak out -- that's why we want to provide you with ways to fight for a fair redistricting now that we're in the thick of the map-drawing process.
1. Sign our Freedom to Vote Act petition
On Tuesday, the Senate introduced the Freedom to Vote Act -- the next iteration of comprehensive democracy reforms. This piece of legislation includes important redistricting reforms like a congressional partisan gerrymandering ban. President Obama said if it passed, it would "strengthen our democracy." Sign our Freedom to Vote Act petition to help show your strong support for this legislation.
2. Sign up for a redistricting event in VA
The All On The Line team regularly hosts a range of redistricting events in VA to prepare folks with the best ways to demand accountability in their state.
3. Make a small donation to help us continue fighting to protect our democracy
The redistricting process is here -- and we need your help to ensure we have enough resources and funds to engage folks in the process in every way possible.
Can we count on you to support our efforts to fight for fair elections and champion fair maps now that we're in the middle of the map-drawing process?
Thanks for getting involved,
The AOTL Team
