"I'm urging you to continue helping the NDRC deploy its proven strategy." - President Obama | Diane, I want to explain how the NDRC has shifted our strategy in response to changing circumstances. (This might get long, so if you don't have time to read the whole thing but would like to contribute, please click this link.) For the past five years, the NDRC has built an effective model that changed the redistricting landscape. By starting early, we helped shift the balance of power, built a robust grassroots network, and mobilized record levels of public engagement in the redistricting process, leading to the fairest districts this country has seen in a generation. But redistricting has always been part of the larger fight to protect our democracy – and with MAGA election deniers winning Republican primaries, the threat to our fundamental system of government is greater than ever. So building on our effective model that highlighted the most important races for redistricting, the NDRC is applying that same approach to shine a spotlight on races that are essential to safeguarding our democracy. The last quarterly goal before Election Day is coming up – will you donate now? What does this actually mean? It means we're supporting: - 12 candidates running for governor,
- 5 for secretary of state,
- 1 for state auditor,
- 212 for state House,
- and 83 for state Senate – all of whom could be the last line of defense against the dismantling of our democracy.
(This is on top of our work to preserve and expand access to voting and protect election infrastructure and administration across the country. Please chip in to support us.) Here's the thing: Like all of our work over the past five years, our projects will only be successful if our grassroots community contributes. This Friday is the most important deadline of the election cycle so far. I need to know you're on board so we can plan out our race to the finish line. So Diane, can the NDRC and I count on you?

| | In Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio, judges have determined that the GOP-drawn congressional maps are likely illegal gerrymanders that discriminate along partisan or racial lines. However, in all four cases, elections this year will go forward using those maps. And in two cases, it's because the Supreme Court directly ordered it. When considered alongside the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act, it paints an extremely alarming picture of the future of democracy. Here's the good news: Our plan to fight back doesn't rely on the Supreme Court to do the right thing. Instead, we're investing in 17 Democracy Target states across the country to defend voting rights and help elect more than 300 Democracy Defender candidates who understand what's at stake. We've made incredible progress with this model in recent years, but we need your help to keep all our work going. Securing fair maps and voting rights is critical to protecting our democracy, Diane, and there's too much on the line to sit this one out. Will you pitch in today to help us keep up all our work?
