Chip in to show the Supreme Court we don't need them to end gerrymandering. We have you.
Today marks the anniversary of the Supreme Court's refusal to put guardrails on partisan gerrymandering in the Rucho v. Common Cause decision.
That decision was an important one in a series of Supreme Court opinions that demonstrate how the Court's conservative majority is no friend of democracy. In April, for example, they refused to extend Wisconsin's absentee ballot receipt deadline, which would have helped ensure that Wisconsinites could safely vote in the middle of the public health emergency -- and have that vote count.
It's clear: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, and the other conservative justices behind these decisions have empowered politicians to tip the scales of this year's elections and manipulate district lines in 2021.
These bad SCOTUS decisions set up a tough road to achieving fairness. Thankfully, our plan was built to succeed regardless of reckless Supreme Court rulings.
A.G. Holder said the Court's decision in Rucho "tears at the very fabric of our democracy." But if the Supreme Court won't protect our democracy, we have to.
We are called on to build the kind of country we want moving forward.
Thanks for answering the call,
