| Diane,
I'm writing you just ahead of our first monthly deadline of 2022, asking you to stay in the fight with us.
The opponents of democracy want nothing more than for us to give up, to give in to cynicism, and to stop fighting. We're not going to do that, and here's why.
Because I know that the American people want and deserve a political system that works -- a political system that represents them. Because what we've accomplished so far in our fight for fair maps gives me hope. Because if our heroes, people like the late Congressman John Lewis, had given up as they fought for equal access to the ballot, the history of this nation would look very different.
I can promise you this: The NDRC will continue to fight for fairness, justice, and democracy in every way we can. But we are stronger when we all fight together. For that reason, I'm asking you to make a donation before the end-of-month deadline coming up tonight. | If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | | | | | | | | | | Our movement and the actions we have led have clear momentum and the people are with us. In states like Colorado, citizen-driven initiatives that we supported have given rise to fair maps. In an Ohio suit that our affiliate filed, the state Supreme Court has overturned the gerrymandered state legislative maps drawn by the GOP-led commission. In other states, voters -- and the U.S. Department of Justice -- have joined us in challenging manipulated maps. And across the country, hundreds of thousands of people are speaking out against Republican attempts to restrict the freedom to vote.
My colleague President Barack Obama has said, "I believe activism will prevail over cynicism." I know he's right -- we just have to keep doing everything we can to work toward our goals. I want to thank you for everything you've done to support the NDRC's fight for fair maps and democracy so far, and to urge you to keep going. Let's keep bending the arc together.
Thank you,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
