| Diane,
I'm writing you just ahead of our first monthly deadline of 2022, asking you to stay in the fight with us.
The opponents of democracy want nothing more than for us to give up, to give in to cynicism, and to stop fighting. We're not going to do that, and here's why.
Because I know that the American people want and deserve a political system that works -- a political system that represents them. Because what we've accomplished so far in our fight for fair maps gives me hope. Because if our heroes, people like the late Congressman John Lewis, had given up as they fought for equal access to the ballot, the history of this nation would look very different.
I can promise you this: The NDRC will continue to fight for fairness, justice, and democracy in every way we can. But we are stronger when we all fight together. For that reason, I'm asking you to make a donation before the end-of-month deadline coming up tonight. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Our movement and the actions we have led have clear momentum and the people are with us. In states like Colorado, citizen-driven initiatives that we supported have given rise to fair maps. In an Ohio suit that our affiliate filed, the state Supreme Court has overturned the gerrymandered state legislative maps drawn by the GOP-led commission. In other states, voters -- and the U.S. Department of Justice -- have joined us in challenging manipulated maps. And across the country, hundreds of thousands of people are speaking out against Republican attempts to restrict the freedom to vote.
My colleague President Barack Obama has said, "I believe activism will prevail over cynicism." I know he's right -- we just have to keep doing everything we can to work toward our goals. I want to thank you for everything you've done to support the NDRC's fight for fair maps and democracy so far, and to urge you to keep going. Let's keep bending the arc together.
Thank you,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.

Republicans have not replicated the 2011 redistricting cycle. Diane -- Together, we've accomplished so much during this redistricting cycle.
Before the redistricting process began, some politicians and pundits were saying the Democratic Party had already lost -- that we could be staring at another decade of voting with gerrymandered maps in place.
Only that's not what happened. Because you helped us fight for fair maps, Democrats were able to prevent Republican legislatures across the country from tilting maps in their favor -- to the point where some in the media are now calling it a "redistricting turnaround."
That's a big deal. Because of your work alongside organizations like All On The Line, it's now unlikely that control of the House will be determined strictly by the way maps are drawn.
But just because Republicans couldn't replicate what they did in 2011 doesn't mean we can relax. We still need to preserve competitive elections across the country and ensure that every voice can be heard.
Will you make a donation right now to support All On The Line? We need to close out this cycle of map-drawing with a strong finish. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Earlier this month, I was disappointed to see every Republican in the Senate once again block voting reforms that would have strengthened access to the ballot box and ended gerrymandering in congressional elections.
But thankfully, All On The Line has never counted on Congress alone to act. They've run a state-by-state strategy for fair maps -- and it's working. For months now, the All On The Line team and volunteers have demanded accountability and stood by voters in states who filed lawsuits to prevent gerrymandering.
But with swing states like Florida still in the midst of contentious redistricting battles, we need your help. In the weeks ahead, All On The Line needs to keep mobilizing advocates to demand accountability and help voters challenge gerrymandered maps across the country.
Can I count on you to make a donation right now to support All On The Line? Their state-by-state strategy for fair maps is working, but we can't stop fighting until every map is finalized.

-- President Obama | | | Diane -- we're continuing to work as hard as we can to ensure fair maps and a fair shot for the American people. Here's how we're doing it: - By fighting Republican gerrymandering in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and many more.
- By our affiliate supporting voters in lawsuits against manipulated maps in states like Texas and Ohio (where the state Supreme Court recently struck down gerrymandered maps!).
- By speaking out against voter suppression and supporting much-needed reforms to our election system.
We've had a number of victories over the past several months, but ultimately, what happens with our fight will depend on folks like you. With our first end-of-month deadline of 2022 coming up TOMORROW, will you pitch in to help us finish the fight and secure fair maps and democracy for all? | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | -- Erika

| | | Diane -- with our first monthly deadline of 2022 approaching, I want to recap where we are in the fight for fair maps: ☆ According to The Washington Post, 33 states have now adopted maps, leaving 17 states (and approximately 161 congressional districts) to go.
☆ But that number is a bit misleading, because in several states where Republicans have enacted manipulated maps, voters have filed lawsuits -- so nothing is settled yet.
☆ Recent victories, like the Ohio Supreme Court's rejection of gerrymandered maps, have given our movement new momentum. In short, redistricting ain't over till it's over -- and it's not over yet. That's why it remains critically important to hit our monthly goals. Can I count on you to pitch in before the end of January? | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Thanks for everything,
Garrett
