Diane,

It’s tempting to tune out Trump’s constant threats to “take over” or “nationalize” the midterm elections, and hope that it’s just bluster or that the courts will step in to stop his attempts to suppress the vote by executive order. 

But, in the words of Attorney General Eric Holder, “Doing nothing — or capitulating — while Trump destroys our democracy is not an option.” Here’s what we can all do right now to Trump-proof our elections: 

  • #1: Call out MAGA's extreme redistricting in places like Texas, Missouri, and Florida. Tell your family and friends about the White House’s campaign to strong-arm Republican officials into fueling a national redistricting crisis.
  • #2: Meet them step for step on the state level — like we did by empowering voters in Virginia and California to counter the cynical GOP power grab.
  • #3: Don’t let them get away with all the lying and dirty tricks. Use social media to share the truth about how little voter fraud actually happens in America — and to push back against deceptive petition practices of dark money PACs allied with Republicans in Utah or disinformation in Virginia to mislead voters about President Obama’s views on the redistricting amendment.
  • #4: Remind everyone what's at stake here — a government that truly represents the people and the power of the people to hold their leaders accountable. 
  • #5: Join forces with NDRC as we fight tooth and nail to defend our democracy.

Every dollar you contribute goes toward the battle against Trump and the MAGA movement that will do anything — even tear down our democracy — to cling to power. With your help, we’re showing that this movement is stronger than they could ever hope to be.

Thank you for helping protect our democracy,

Team NDRC

The biggest rigged system in America is gerrymandering.
    Together we can change that
