Diane, If you're like most Americans, odds are you're worried about our democracy. Unfortunately, these concerns for our democracy are well-founded. With Republicans employing tactics like gerrymandering, voter suppression, and election denialism, there is clearly a faction of MAGA extremists who are willing to secure power at any cost. But the good news is that the American people still believe in our democracy – and together we have the power to defend it. As A.G. Holder said, "In recent elections, the majority of the people have sent a clear message: they wholly reject anti-democratic election denialism and want their basic rights protected." The NDRC is fighting to defend democracy, but the strength of our work depends on supporters like you. Will you donate now to help us keep going? "Democracy is fragile. You have to tend to it, you have to fight for it." – President Barack Obama | President Obama is right, Diane: If we want our democracy to thrive, it's up to us to protect it from those who seek to weaken it. That's why the NDRC is working across the country to prevent GOP gerrymandering, combat voter suppression, defeat election denialism, and so much more.

This could be a game changer, Diane | | This could be a game changer, Diane. POLITICO: "Dems eye redistricting redos to regain House majority" Help fight for fair maps: Donate to the NDRC >> Last November, our fair maps movement helped secure what the New York Times called "the fairest House map of the last 40 years." But despite our victories, too many Americans continued to live under gerrymandered maps. Now, we have the opportunity to change that before the next election. → In Alabama and Louisiana, lawmakers must now implement new, fair maps to replace gerrymandered maps struck down by the courts. → Pending challenges to gerrymandered maps in states like Arkansas, Georgia, and Texas could lead to those also being required to draw new, fair districts. Help support the fight for fair maps nationwide: Donate to the NDRC >> Diane, when we work together, our fair maps movement has a proven track record of winning big victories for our democracy. But as President Obama warned us, "Our opposition is counting on [us] to lose the energy and drive that our movement has sustained so far. We simply cannot afford to do that." Our movement is sustained by supporters like you. Will you donate today to support the NDRC's work to help ensure Democrats have a fair shot at the House majority in 2024?

| | It's true, Diane, FIRST, the Supreme Court struck down Alabama's congressional maps for illegally diluting the power of Black votes. The Court's decision has forced Alabama to draw new maps with an additional majority-Black district – and experts predicted the ruling could "shake up" the 2024 election by leading to even more states being required to redraw their maps. THEN, just a few weeks later, the Court issued another decision clearing the way for Louisiana to draw new maps with an additional district where Black voters can elect the candidate of their choosing. AND, similar challenges in Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas could lead to more gerrymandered maps being struck down. In fact, so many states could be impacted that FiveThirtyEight said, "this decision could be the difference between Republican and Democratic control of the House." SO NOW, we need to double down on our efforts to secure fair maps across the country! "Our democracy is stronger because of what we have accomplished. States that were once gerrymandered . . . are now highly competitive, allowing voters to choose their representatives instead of the other way around." "But the movement doesn't stop here. We must continue the work until we have fair maps in every state." – President Obama | President Obama is right, Diane – and we're counting on your grassroots support to make sure we can continue the work. Please: Will you pitch in now to help us combat GOP gerrymandering and secure fair maps across the country?
