There will always be power-hungry politicians looking to claw back control.

State Senate Approves [Arizona] Redistricting Rules
Over Democratic Objections
The Associated Press, February 25

We can never take our eyes off of map manipulators, Diane. As we learned these past few weeks in Arizona -- even when fair map advocates achieve redistricting reform, there will always be power-hungry politicians looking to claw back control of the process.

But we're fighting back. Arizona has one of the strongest independent redistricting commissions in the country. That's exactly why we launched digital ads immediately after the State Senate voted to advance a law that would limit the commission's ability to protect the voting power of communities of color. Check them out:

As a State Director, I'm grateful and excited that we've been able to mobilize folks right here in the Grand Canyon State. But the reality is, in 2021, redistricting will be happening across the country and we'll have to be prepared to launch campaigns to activate citizens on multiple fronts. It takes a lot of work to run these campaigns. For this campaign, we had to design the graphics, had to build the call script on our tool, and had to make sure the ads got in front of the right constituents who would make the call.

President Obama told you last month that "We're leaning on the generosity of grassroots donors." It's the only way our plans can work and we can keep map manipulators from defining our politics for another ten years.

Can you pitch in to fund our work?

Thanks for all you do,

Kendra Alvarez
AOTL Arizona State Director
