If we want to help Floridians and folks across the country secure their voice, we need to end gerrymandering. Chip in today to support All On The Line. Team --
When I ran for governor of Florida last year, at the heart of my campaign was a really simple but important idea: Every single citizen should have an equal voice in our government.
We lost a close race, but that doesn't mean our movement didn't make progress. Florida voters overwhelmingly passed
Amendment 4 with 64.5% of the vote -- a great, grassroots-led effort that took Florida's voting rights laws out of the Dark Ages and restored voting rights to 1.4 million disenfranchised formerly incarcerated individuals who had served their time.
Nothing more was needed to make Amendment 4 the law of the land.
Yet, over the past few months, the gerrymandered state legislature has twisted Amendment 4, tacked on restrictions, severely threatened who will
actually be able to get their voting eligibility back ... and Governor Ron DeSantis has said that he will sign their bad bill into law.
It's unacceptable and an insult to every Floridian who stood up for Amendment 4.
If we want to fix broken systems in Florida and states like it, we need to end gerrymandering and elect politicians that actually respect the will of voters. That's exactly what All On The Line is working on -- and it's why folks like President Obama, Eric Holder, and myself support them.

It's a nationwide epidemic. We have gerrymandered state houses and congressional districts that are so brazenly partisan that the elected officials who represent them don't even pretend anymore. They pass extreme legislation. They stop holding town halls. They don't look for common ground. They have no interest in listening to their constituents.
It's time to change things.
I believe in the All On The Line team. I believe in their plan to train local activists and get organized in communities across the country. I've watched as they fire people up about this fight to end gerrymandering, and educate citizens on how important the 2020 Census will be.
They're going to make it happen. But if we're going to change Florida -- and help fix our democracy nationwide -- we need grassroots support.
