Diane -- President Obama told AOTL supporters this week that we "need to keep mobilizing advocates to demand accountability and help voters challenge gerrymandered maps across the country."

President Obama is right. That's why we're currently helping voters in five states challenge unfair maps in court.

Friend -- Together, we've accomplished so much during this redistricting cycle.

Before the redistricting process began, some politicians and pundits were saying the Democratic Party had already lost -- that we could be staring at another decade of voting with gerrymandered maps in place.

Only that's not what happened. Because you helped us fight for fair maps, Democrats were able to prevent Republican legislatures across the country from tilting maps in their favor -- to the point where some in the media are now calling it a "redistricting turnaround."

That's a big deal. Because of your work alongside organizations like All On The Line, it's now unlikely that control of the House will be determined strictly by the way maps are drawn.

But just because Republicans couldn't replicate what they did in 2011 doesn't mean we can relax. We still need to preserve competitive elections across the country and ensure that every voice can be heard.

Will you make a donation right now to support All On The Line? We need to close out this cycle of map-drawing with a strong finish.

Earlier this month, I was disappointed to see every Republican in the Senate once again block voting reforms that would have strengthened access to the ballot box and ended gerrymandering in congressional elections.

But thankfully, All On The Line has never counted on Congress alone to act. They've run a state-by-state strategy for fair maps -- and it's working. For months now, the All On The Line team and volunteers have demanded accountability and stood by voters in states who filed lawsuits to prevent gerrymandering.

But with swing states like Florida still in the midst of contentious redistricting battles, we need your help. In the weeks ahead, All On The Line needs to keep mobilizing advocates to demand accountability and help voters challenge gerrymandered maps across the country.

Can I count on you to make a donation right now to support All On The Line? Their state-by-state strategy for fair maps is working, but we can't stop fighting until every map is finalized.

-- Barack Obama
