Our schedule is jampacked this month. We've got major program developments in every single one of our target states. Take a look:
Ok, time for a breather. You hear from us all the time how much work we have to do in our target states and how we must take a localized approach to secure fair maps in 2021. Well, we take a localized approach for our fundraising too -- it's why this month, we've set a goal of 100 $1 contributions in New York to help fund our localized organizing programs.
But hey, we said every target state. So, take a look at what else is going on if you're not convinced yet:
Thanks for reading and bringing this national campaign to life!

All On The Line is the grassroots advocacy campaign supported by the National Redistricting Action Fund. Support our work to end gerrymandering.
- North Carolina: Our first ever online course was launched in the Tar Heel State. Students can navigate the course at their own pace to learn about the state's redistricting process and the history of map manipulation in North Carolina.
- Colorado: Lights, camera, organizing. We'll be hosting virtual screenings this month of "Slay the Dragon," a documentary focused on citizen-led movements battling gerrymandering. We'll be following up on the viewings with a live-panel discussion.
- Arizona: The application process to become a commissioner on the state's independent redistricting commission is fast-approaching so we're hosting multiple info sessions this month to teach advocates whether they meet state qualifications and how to apply.

But hey, we said every target state. So, take a look at what else is going on if you're not convinced yet:
- Wisconsin: After conservative courts and gerrymandered legislatures forced voters to choose between their health and vote in last month's election, we sent voters a survey to learn more about the obstacles they faced and how we can prevent this disaster happening from across the county in November's election.
- Ohio: This month All On The Line deployed its advocacy tool to ask our supporters to contact legislators to demand election reform in Ohio -- because no voter should be forced to choose between exercising their right to vote and protecting their health.
- Georgia: Gerrymandering has worked in tandem with voter suppression in Georgia to suppress the vote in African American communities. We joined Georgia NAACP President James Woodall and Black Male Voter Project founder Mondale Robinson to dive into this topic with supporters
- Texas: The state's Supreme Court and Attorney General are battling on whether all voters will be able to vote absentee to help maintain social distancing. We're hosting a webinar with partners to give the latest guidance to voters on how to cut through all the news and make their voices heard in the upcoming election.
- Florida: Our AOTL Florida State Director hosted a supporter call to update supporters about where Florida is in the redistricting process and what changes we are implementing due to COVID19 as well as a targeted Redistricting U with some of our best partners' leaders.
- Pennsylvania: Thanks to recent election reforms, registered voters can now request mail-in-ballots without a reason. We messaged all of our Pennsylvania supporters this month with links to request ballots and a directory of county election officials.

But Wisconsin voters were forced to make that very choice when the Republican legislature refused to postpone last month's election. And then conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court reversed an order from the governor to extend the absentee ballot deadline.
I'm supporting All On The Line because of their work to defend the integrity of the 2020 election in the face of voter suppression and their commitment to ensuring fair redistricting in 2021.
Can you make a donation to help them raise $20,000 in the next 24 hours to keep their plans on track?
This election will be one of the most important ones in our lifetimes. That's why I've been working tirelessly with my colleagues in the Senate to fight for voting rights and am the lead sponsor of a bill that would require every state to allow its citizens to vote easily by mail.
Expanding access to vote-by-mail is critical, but we need to do even more to guarantee safe and accessible voting. We need additional funding to support online registration and the U.S. Postal Service, expanded early in-person voting, and protective measures for the health and safety of poll workers.
We can't do it all alone. With your help, All On The Line has already driven over 16,000 contacts to Congress to demonstrate how important it is to make sure all of America doesn't suffer what Wisconsin just did.
We need All On The Line's grassroots movement to help win this fight.
If you're able, please rush a donation to help All On The Line raise $20,000 and meet its 24-hour fundraising goal.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
