Diane -- This month, we've been celebrating the one year anniversary of All On The Line. Last weekend, we held trainings and other events across the country where our team empowered new volunteers to be leaders in their communities.
In the most gerrymandered states, people came together to learn about the redistricting process and effective tactics to organize their communities for fair maps. This is exactly what President Obama meant by being catalysts for change.
President Obama emailed you to donate to the AOTL Community Organizing Fund to celebrate our first year of progress. Will you be one of the people who step up and make their first donation today? Here's a custom link:

Friend,
Time and again, from my days as an organizer in Chicago to my two terms as president, I've seen firsthand that individuals who are committed to grassroots organizing can be the most powerful catalysts for change in our communities and our country. That's why last year I encouraged so many of you to join the fight for fair maps -- because I knew that working to end gerrymandering and build a more representative democracy would be one of the most impactful things this grassroots movement could do.
As we approach the anniversary of launching All On The Line, I'm asking you to make your first donation.
Donate to the AOTL Community Organizing Fund to provide grassroots organizers with the resources necessary to win this fight. They've set a goal to recruit another 1,000 first time donors before wrapping up the first year of this campaign. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately. We know that gerrymandering systematically favors one party over another. Since 2011, manipulated maps have tipped the scales in congressional and state legislative districts across the country.
In 2021, we have a once-in-a-decade chance to make sure the rules of the road for our democracy are fair and that we have districts that truly represent the people. Since launching last year, All On The Line has already mobilized local staff on the ground in some of the most gerrymandered states in the country, trained hundreds of people at Redistricting U, and provided resources for volunteers in places like Texas and North Carolina where the fight for fair maps has already begun. I'm proud to see this movement continuing its legacy by making an impact in this fight.
But let me be clear, securing fair maps won't be easy -- it's going to take hard work every step of the way. And that means we'll need a lot of resources to fight back against politicians who want to manipulate the maps for their own benefit -- and fight for a democracy that truly represents everybody. We're leaning on the generosity of grassroots donors. I hope I can count on your support.
Thanks for being part of the All On The Line team,
Barack Obama
