My 'Bama Says: January 2023

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

Redistricting work is democracy work.

Last Fall, election deniers attempted to jeopardize our democracy by pushing their anti-democratic agenda to weaken our election infrastructures and deny voters the opportunity for fair representation. Sadly, these threats persist as state lawmakers across the country consider voting changes that disenfranchise people's voting power.

Rush a donation today to help All On The Line combat the new wave of threats to our democracy.

A.G. Holder and President Obama are right. We can not afford to stand on the sidelines. And if we want our democracy to flourish, we must fight for it. So if you agree with us, let's take action together. Our voting rights depend on it.

2023 is another pivotal year for the fate of our democracy. Conservative lawmakers in places like Ohio, Texas, and Florida want more power over election outcomes. According to the Brennan Center, extremist conservative-led states will continue to fight for restrictive election regulations, including limiting voting access. We didn't accept these anti-democratic agendas last fall and we will not accept them now, Diane.

And I know we've talked a lot about redistricting over the last month. It's because redistricting and protecting democracy are interconnected. We know the future of the progress we've made relies on fair maps, strong election infrastructure, and equitable voting access – we will not stop fighting until these are guaranteed for voters across the country.

All On The Line is combating voter suppression across the country so people like you can be heard at the ballot box. Your support will make our democracy work possible in 2023 and beyond. Rush a donation of $25, $50, or more today!

we've got a lot of work to do

Diane,

History has shown us that, by working together, we can strengthen our democracy and change our country for the better.

As I reflect on everything we accomplished in 2022, I think about the young and not-so-young organizers who came together to help make a difference in our communities. You joined organizations like All On The Line and took action to bring the America we know closer to our founding ideals.

Make a donation today to help All On The Line continue the progress made by voters and activists as we keep protecting voting rights in 2023.

This year will bring a new set of challenges, with pending Supreme Court decisions in Alabama and North Carolina that could shape the future of our democracy, and redrawn maps in gerrymandered states that continue to prevent too many voters from making their voices heard.

Will you make a donation to support All On The Line?

So we've got a lot of work to do. But Diane, I believe we can make America more fair and more free -- not just for this generation, but for the next one, too.

Progress doesn't always happen in a straight line, but it does happen. I still believe we have more in common than our politics suggest, and that if we keep standing up, speaking out, and pushing for change, we can strengthen our democracy and build a better future for all of us.

Thank you for helping us continue to make progress.

Diane -- we can do this.

We've shown opposition that when it comes to our democracy, we are not willing to let it go. In 2023, we must be prepared for upcoming redraws and ready to combat anti-democratic agendas to suppress votes or push agendas for inequality.

Diane -- we can do this. President Obama said it best, "Our democracy is resilient as long as we stay engaged and active between elections." Rush a contribution of $23 to All On The line and help us reach our end-of-the-month goal.

Did you see A.G. Holder on Jeopardy?

Diane, if you were watching Jeopardy last week, you might have seen this:

As Obama's A.G., he took on the issue of trying terrorists in civilian rather than military court; today he fights gerrymandering

ANSWER:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. founder of the NDRC!

We were so excited to see A.G. Holder featured – and we thought it would be fun to test our supporters' knowledge with a few questions of our own!

So, this…is…Gerrymandering Jeopardy.

Check out the first clue below, then click to take the quiz:

They manipulate maps in order to keep an un-democratic hold on power.

TAKE THE QUIZ

We look forward to seeing how you do!

A.G. Holder: If the NDRC is successful in undoing manipulated maps, we will be able to achieve a system in which everyone's vote counts.

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.

Here’s the good news:

We're preparing for the challenges ahead, Diane.

President Obama charged us with pressing forward in our fight for fair redistricting. We are more committed than ever to continue pushing back against map manipulators and empowering voters across the country to stay loud about the importance of the fair maps movement.

Here are some of the challenges we face in 2023:
➡️ Republicans in states like Ohio making it harder to pass voter-led ballot initiatives
➡️ Multiple maps still in violation of the Voting Rights Act
➡️ Extremists advocating for their far-right, and far-fetched, ISL theory

CHIP IN $23 TODAY TO FIGHT FOR FAIR MAPS IN 2023>>

Here's the good news: This movement helped secure fairer maps. States with fairer maps like Pennsylvania and Michigan saw higher voter turnout than last midterm election!

The bad news: In the wake of that success, we're already seeing map manipulators finding new ways to disempower voters. If we take a break from reforming redistricting and protecting voting rights, we won't be able to catch up.

We are 15 days into 2023. We're hoping to kick off the year getting 15 people from VA to chip in today. Will you make a donation?
