$24,177 left to raise to help fight back against foes of fair maps »

Sula -- The conservative majority of the Supreme Court has a history of consolidating political power at the expense of voters.

Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and John Roberts have all had their hand in one or more Supreme Court rulings that have ultimately undermined our democracy. They’re no friends of fair maps or fair elections.

The 6 conservative Supreme Court justices in the way of fair maps and fair elections || Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas,  Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and John Roberts || Help us fight back against foes of fair maps »

Here’s just a snapshot of how conservative-majority rulings have made it harder to have a truly representative democracy:

  • In the Rucho decision, the Supreme Court refused to weigh in and put guardrails on partisan gerrymandering.
  • During the pandemic, the Court refused to extend Wisconsin’s deadline for submitting absentee ballots.
  • In July, Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett, and John Roberts made it clear that they will continue to allow voter suppression tactics with their Brnovich decision.

The conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court can’t be relied on to ensure we have fairness in redistricting. But our grassroots movement can!

We set an end-of-month goal of raising $28,758 by tomorrow, Tuesday at 11:59pm to fight back against foes of fair maps like the Justices on the Supreme Court. We’re $24,177 away from our goal.

Will you make a one-time donation of $35 right now? That's just $7 per Supreme Court Justice who is in the way of fair maps and fair elections. If you're unable to pitch in $35 right now, you can also donate any amount that makes the most sense to you.

- Say you live in a state like North Carolina or Texas, where recent population growth is driven largely by an influx of people of color and Democrats. It's time for a once-in-a-decade reworking of district maps -- but instead of drawing maps to empower the communities that have driven the growth, Republicans draw the maps to give themselves more political power instead.

That's exactly what could happen if you don't fight back right now.

NBC News recently ran a headline that said: NBC:Gerrymandering could limit minority voters' power even though Census shows population gains

In Texas, people of color, who tend to vote for Democrats, make up 95% of the population growth recorded in the 2020 Census. NDRC President Kelly Burton plainly told Axios that “There’s simply no way for them to add two more GOP [House] seats in Texas without racially gerrymandering based on this census data.”

And North Carolina, which is gaining a House seat because more people of color -- who, again, tend to vote for Democrats -- have moved to the state, could actually lose Democratic representation if Republicans have their way.

Gerrymandering silences the voices of communities of color. It's a form of voter suppression. And we must END it.

It won't be easy to stop Republicans in states like North Carolina and Texas who want to manipulate the maps for their benefit. But we have to fight with everything we've got. Can you chip in to help us take on Republican power-stealers across the country?
