Hey team,
It has been another eventful week in redistricting. Just check out everything that's happened since President Obama reached out on Tuesday:
- The Ohio Redistricting Commission passed gerrymandered state legislative maps for the fourth time.
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed maps passed by the Republican-controlled legislature, apparently because they weren't gerrymandered enough.
- The Louisiana Legislature voted to override the governor's veto on their unfair congressional map that limited Black voters' ability to elect candidates of their preference.
These Republican antics are exactly why our state-by-state plan is so important and why President Obama is all in on our strategy. In case you missed his message, check it out below.
We have spent years working with voters and volunteers to prepare for moments like these, but it wouldn't have been possible without supporters like you. Will you pitch in to help us continue our work and keep fighting state-by-state?
Thank you for your continued support.

Friend,
I'll get right to the point today: All On The Line's end-of-month deadline for donations is at midnight on Thursday. It could be one of your last chances to pitch in a few bucks before every state has locked in its congressional maps for the next election.
Lately, All On The Line's state-by-state plan for fair redistricting has been paying off. Without them, we might not be seeing headlines like "The GOP's gerrymandering scheme backfires." And I know overwhelming support from folks like you has been key to their success.
Chip in before All On The Line's end-of-month deadline. The AOTL team will use every dollar you give to help secure fair elections ahead of the midterms -- and for years to come.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Your donations have helped All On The Line train tens of thousands of volunteers, support voters in seven states fighting for fair maps in court, and invest well over $1M in digital ads that put pressure on elected officials to end map manipulation.
That's a lot to be proud of -- but there's so much left to do. Even though the initial map drawing is almost finished, a few legislatures will likely need to redraw maps after the midterms. And as we've seen, some redistricting lawsuits can carry on for years.
I don't send fundraising emails like this for many organizations anymore -- and I wouldn't do it for All On The Line if I didn't believe their work mattered.
So if you're able, pitch in before Thursday's deadline to give All On The Line every tool they need to succeed.
I'm proud of our work on this issue, friend. Together we're making a real difference for our democracy.
Barack
