Obama Is Ramping Up His Fight Against Gerrymandering
Diane -- Last week, we made a big splash in the media when President Obama launched Redistricting U. It's no secret that we have a plan to end gerrymandering -- Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. has made that clear. It's also no secret that organizing is a key part of that plan. What is surprising -- and deeply rewarding -- is how this issue has broken through with citizens around the country. Thanks to you, more and more Americans understand how gerrymandering has helped break our political system and they are ready to take action.
Help us ramp up our fight against gerrymandering by becoming a Redistricting U Founding Member and making a donation to our training fund. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. Redistricting U is the perfect example of how your support can make an impact in the fight. A few weeks ago, our Training Director Mallory set an ambitious fundraising goal -- and because supporters like you stepped up, President Obama was able to announce our Redistricting U initiative last week.
When reporters ask us how we know this initiative will be successful, we tell them it's because of the strong grassroots support driving it. You are the backbone of the movement for fair maps and a stronger democracy. Which is why we've increased our goal to 5,000 Founding Members of Redistricting U. Our current count is 3,478 -- we only need 30 people from Virginia to make a donation to hit our goal.
All On The Line is committed to building a movement that holds politicians accountable in the redistricting process. But it takes support from folks like you to make sure volunteers are armed with the tools and resources they need. Help end gerrymandering by donating to the fight for fair maps. President Obama made fair redistricting a top priority. AG Holder has said time and time again that we have a plan to fight for fair maps. The headlines last week credited President Obama with taking on gerrymandering, but we all know he can't do it alone. This movement will only be successful because folks like you take a stand.
I hope you join us in this fight,
-- Patrick
