To achieve a fair democracy, we need to end gerrymandering. Help me make that a reality, Diane.

Diane -- I knew I wanted to fight for justice and equality at a young age. After law school, I joined the U.S. Department of Justice and was later honored to serve as Attorney General in the Obama Administration.

Seven years ago, my commitment to this fight only intensified after the Supreme Court gutted a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that had helped prevent discriminatory voting practices for almost 50 years, in the Shelby County case.

The Shelby County decision unleashed a sudden and persistent wave of restrictive voting laws in states across the country.

The Supreme Court did not create voter suppression with that decision -- but it did open the door for the forces that have attempted to suppress voters for generations and gave permission to anti-voting interests to be bolder, more obstructive, and more unabashedly out in the open.

From the moment the ruling came down, unnecessary and discriminatory voting restrictions went up across the country in places with gerrymandered state legislatures like North Carolina and Texas.

All On The Line has a state-by-state plan to combat gerrymandering, which includes addressing attempts to disenfranchise voters this fall. Can we count on you to support our work and help secure our elections this year so we can end map manipulation when the nation redistricts in 2021?

We have already seen state legislators in gerrymandered states like Wisconsin and Georgia follow their party's lead in refusing to protect our elections and making matters even worse by upholding voting restrictions and blocking public health-based electoral reform during this pandemic.

I refuse to let these schemes go unchallenged. We are facing an uphill, but winnable, battle to ensure safe, fair, and accessible elections to help end gerrymandering -- and I believe in the power of a strong grassroots movement. Can I count on you to pitch in to support this work?

To achieve a fair democracy, we must end map manipulation. But that won't be possible until every eligible person has a fair chance to vote.

Thanks for helping me make that a reality,
-- Eric H. Holder, Jr.
