Last month, President Obama spoke out about the importance of voting this fall. And he wasn't talking about the presidential race -- he was talking about down-ballot races across the country.
This fall is our last election before redistricting in 2021, which means the local leaders we elect will be responsible for drawing our maps for the next 10 years. Will you give today so we can help Democrats win these crucial down-ballot races?

President Obama knows how important down-ballot races are to our democracy. During his own administration a GOP majority in Congress, built from gerrymandered maps, refused to pass comprehensive immigration reform or common-sense gun safety legislation -- even though a majority of Americans supported it.
Why?
Because in 2010, Republicans won control of state legislatures throughout the country. Then in 2011, they were able to control redistricting, and draw maps that guaranteed conservative majorities in Congress and state legislatures. They used this power to obstruct progress on issues Americans care about.
The GOP is trying to run the same play in 2020 and 2021, and right now, it's working. Republicans are leading the money race in critical battleground states, and Democrats are running out of time to catch up. Can you rush a contribution so we can close the gap and prevent another decade of Republican obstruction?

-- Team NDRC
Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters. But 2020 will be our most important -- and toughest -- year yet. It's the last year before redistricting, which means it's our last chance to elect the Democrats we trust to fight for fair maps.
We know we send a lot of emails, but we think it's important to keep you updated with the latest information on Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression and how we're fighting back -- regardless of whether you choose to donate.
