Diane,

This Giving Tuesday, the NDRC set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 to safeguard our democracy from Republicans attempting to manipulate maps and cheat their way into power.

Right now, extremists are launching an increasing number of attacks on fair representation — and they can't go unanswered. That's why we're EXTENDING our Giving Tuesday deadline until midnight tonight.

If this year has taught us anything, it's that we're at a critical inflection point for fairness in our democracy. We need all hands on deck to fight back against Republican efforts to rig the midterms and unfairly hold on to power.

This is your last chance to help reach our $50,000 goal: Rush your donation right away to ensure the NDRC is fully prepared to fight for fair maps in the months and years ahead.

---------- Forwarded Message ----------

Diane,

Today is an important day for fundraising at the NDRC, so let me be direct about why your Giving Tuesday donation of any amount is so important.

Across the country, fair representation is being threatened. Anti-democracy extremists have passed gerrymanders in Texas and North Carolina that strip minority communities of fair representation. Map manipulators are meddling in Florida, Indiana, and Kansas to try and rig the midterms. A Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act could come down any day now.

The threats to our democracy are happening right now. We can't take any of it lightly.

With so much at stake, this national day of giving is a chance for our entire community to come together and keep our grassroots fundraising strong, ensuring we have the resources to carry on the fight for a truly representative democracy.

We've set an ambitious goal to raise $50,000 this Giving Tuesday to ensure we remain ready to respond to threats in 2026 and beyond. Will you donate any amount before midnight to help us continue pushing back against attacks on fair maps right now?

 
 

When Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama founded the NDRC almost a decade ago, it was because Republicans were quietly gerrymandering their way to power in Congress and state legislatures by disenfranchising voters. Put simply, they were cheating.

This past year, we've witnessed them cheating their way to power explode out in the open. Donald Trump and his White House are undertaking an unprecedented assault on fair representation, openly coordinating with Republicans nationwide to redraw maps mid-decade — a blatant attempt to unfairly hold on to power.

The good news is, this is what the NDRC was built for. Together, with grassroots supporters like you, we've been fighting back every step of the way. And we've had huge wins with voters passing Proposition 50 in California, establishing a Democratic trifecta in Virginia, defending an independent-minded state Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, and so much more.

But as the attacks on fair maps get more egregious, every dollar matters in ensuring the NDRC has the resources to fight back. We already know that our opponents are planning to take their fight to states like Florida and Indiana in the next few weeks — and they are extremely well-funded. This Giving Tuesday, make a donation to help us continue this critical work and grow this grassroots movement.

Thank you so much,

Diane,

President Obama and A.G. Eric Holder are making an urgent plea to all who care about preserving democracy in this critical moment for our country.

Right now, Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to consolidate their power and unfairly keep their grip on Congress through the midterms and beyond. They know their policies are deeply unpopular. So rather than facing their voters at the polls next year, they're trying to silence them instead.

Listen: Voters are supposed to choose their politicians, not the other way around.

This NDRC is taking on this fight to block Republicans from overriding the will of the people. But as we work to defeat the anti-democracy forces who are threatening our rights and freedoms across the country, one thing remains clear: We need supporters like you in this fight alongside us. 

Watch the video and answer President Obama's call to action by making a donation. You can help us continue our work defending democracy and fighting for fair maps and representation nationwide.

Thanks so much,

Brianna Shamsuddoha
Director of Mobilization, NDRC

The other side isn’t finished with this nonsense

The work to decide who holds power in this country is happening right now.
‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Diane,

The midterm elections may be a year away, but the work to decide who will win the House of Representatives is happening right now.

Republicans know their policies aren't helping people. The polls show that their agenda, and their leaders, are deeply unpopular. And in this month's elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, we saw an electorate that is eager for a different path forward.

That's why Republicans have launched an unprecedented attempt to entrench themselves in power. In several Republican-led states, they've gerrymandered the maps so that they can avoid being accountable to the will of the people.

Now, thanks to your support and the work of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, they're running into some real resistance.

In California, voters overwhelmingly supported a temporary measure to counter the gerrymandering crisis. Other states are exploring following California's lead. And in states like Missouri and Kansas, citizens are organizing to stop their leaders from using manipulated maps. Like many of us, voters overwhelmingly believe that the maps should be fair — because elections should be fair.

But the other side isn't finished with their assault on our democracy. They are banking on other states, like Florida, Indiana, and New Hampshire, to enter the fray and continue the cycle of perpetual gerrymandering. And they're asking the Supreme Court to strike down a critical part of the Voting Rights Act so they can throw out maps where communities of color have fair representation.

Attorney General Holder and I started the NDRC to safeguard democracy in moments like this. That work has never been more important — which is why I'm asking for your support right now to help ensure we can keep up the fight against Republican power grabs.

 
 

The people in power are counting on your cynicism. They want you to think there is nothing you can do, because that's how they win. Don't let them. If there's one thing history has taught us, it is that the most important position in a democracy is citizen.

We don't need to speculate about what's at stake. We're witnessing it. We know now where this administration wants to take this country. We know how they want to corrupt our democracy.

That's why the work of the NDRC is among the most urgent causes in the country. We can fight back, we can win, and we can come out on the other side with our democracy intact — but it'll take all of us doing our part.

Please make a donation today — and let's keep building the movement we need to preserve and strengthen our democracy.

Your support matters, especially right now. 

Thank you,

Barack Obama
