Republicans need to face the voters

Republicans can't win on their policies, so instead they are trying to cheat – but we can stop them.

Diane, 

When you hold public office in a democracy, you can't hide from the voters. Our system of government was created by the founders to be of the people, by the people, and for the people. 

Whether or not someone voted for you, every elected official should listen to their constituents' hopes and dreams, and their struggles. Because listening to people and building relationships and understanding our common goals is the best way to bring some of them along with you.

These days, that's not what's happening. With the midterm elections approaching, Donald Trump and the Republican party aren't trying to persuade voters to see things their way — they're trying to sidestep them altogether. 

Republicans know their policies are deeply unpopular, so they are rewriting the rules to try to rig the outcome of the midterms before voters can even weigh in. They would rather manipulate maps to lock in their power than change their policies in response to their constituents. 

Let's be clear: This isn't how our democracy is supposed to work.

Attorney General Eric Holder and I started the NDRC so the people would have more power to shape the future of our country — and right now, we're doing everything we can to preserve our democracy so we can ultimately make it stronger and fairer. Can we count on you to support this mission with a donation right now?

 
 

The latest redistricting crisis started last summer when the White House persuaded Texas lawmakers to redraw the state's congressional map by dismantling districts where voters of color had been able to elect their candidate of choice. Missouri and North Carolina joined in, manipulating their own maps to try to steal enough seats to maintain control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 election.

And this fight is just beginning. At the start of this new year, several state legislatures are thinking about redrawing their maps to benefit Republicans. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the legislature would hold a special session this spring to make its current gerrymander even worse.

It's on people like us to fight for fairness and to ensure that politicians are accountable to the people they were elected to serve.

The NDRC is pushing back against these unprecedented power grabs. Join me in taking a stand for our democracy — make a donation of whatever you can today.

Thank you,

Barack Obama

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,
