| Diane, earlier this month our movement for fair maps received incredible news when the Supreme Court issued its decision in Allen v. Milligan. The Court reaffirmed the Voting Rights Act and affirmed a lower court decision striking down Alabama's congressional map for unlawfully diluting the political power of Black voters.
But unfortunately, I have to be the bearer of some bad news: The GOP's efforts to undermine our elections aren't going anywhere. Slate
"There Are Still Two Major Legal Threats to the Voting Rights Act"
"There's no reason to expect that voting rights' opponents will drop their attacks as they seek to maximize the power of white majority voters." | Republicans are as determined as ever to use anti-democratic tactics like gerrymandering and voter suppression to silence voters – especially voters of color.
That's why the NDRC's grassroots movement must remain as determined as ever to continue fighting for fairness so we can hand power back to the people.
If you're with us, will you donate before the end-of-quarter deadline to support our work? | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Together, our grassroots movement has achieved some big victories for our democracy – including helping to secure the fairest congressional maps of the last 40 years.
But as President Obama warned, "Our opposition is counting on the NDRC to lose the energy and drive that our movement has sustained so far. We simply cannot afford to do that."
So please, Diane: Will you help sustain the momentum of our democracy-saving work by making an urgent donation to help us continue fighting for fairness across the country?
Thank you so much – we couldn't do it without you.
