 Earlier this week, our executive director Biz sent around a message on the trends in map manipulation that we want to end in 2022. With just over 24 hours left in the year, will you chip in $22?

We really do rely on grassroots donors to help us hit our fundraising goals and I’m hoping we can get a few more people from NY to chip in. Here’s a custom link to make a donation: secure.actblue.com/donate/2021-trends?Costa-211230

Thanks for your support. Hope you have a great start to your new year!

Hey friend -- In a meeting earlier this week, our President Kelly Burton noted a trend in the ongoing threats against our democracy.

Here’s how map manipulators are doubling down on their 2011 approach and taking things a step further:

→ gerrymandering maps that eliminate competitive districts
→ suppressing voting power -- specifically in communities of color
→ ignoring public input

The way we see it, all of these trends are a reaction to voters and activists like you getting involved.

Will you consider donating $22 to All On The Line as we gear up to combat threats against democracy in 2022? Here’s a link to our end-of-year donation drive: secure.actblue.com/donate/2021-trends

Thanks for your support,
Biz

The architect seeks to simplify the lives of her clients, with a minimalist appeal, emphasizing a striking DNA. When it comes to building preservation, it seeks a futuristic look at interventions and concepts, with a lot of sophistication, creativity and beauty, this is the new order of the architect who graduated from the Catholic University of Campinas.                  Mônica Seabra 's architect (right) Mônica Seabra 's architect (left)

Sula, here’s why it’s important for you and your neighbors to keep making any investment you can -- $5, $15, or $50 -- to our movement:

We are fighting against a political party that is no longer anchored by democratic principles. But I have seen great change in how deeply engaged the public is in the redistricting process compared to 10 years ago.

I’m not being hyperbolic or alarmist: our democracy is on the line. But our future doesn’t have to repeat the painful experiences of the past.

Inaction is not an option right now, which is why I need to ask you to make a donation today.

Will you pitch in to help All On The Line do everything possible to fight for fair maps that are responsive to the voters?

All On The Line has hindered the ability of politicians to gerrymander as much as they did in 2011 by putting people and systems in place that are designed to deliver fair maps. And in many places where map drawers are now gerrymandering along partisan or racial lines, we are supporting voters’ challenges to those maps in court, and we plan to win.

Our organization’s leadership in this regard is already having an impact. Less than an hour after Governor Abbott signed gerrymandered maps into law in October, Texas voters -- with the support of our team -- filed a challenge against the new congressional map. And this month, the Department of Justice joined in the fight, filing a companion challenge against the gerrymandered congressional map.

You all are a part of our movement that makes this possible and it will take all of us to ensure that we succeed.

Without your support, we would not be able to fight for a truly representative democracy that advances equality, justice, and opportunity for all Americans -- especially those who are too often without a voice.

We’re up against forces that are willing to cheat to maintain majority rule even when they have minority support from the people. Concerted effort and serious commitment are the only ways to fight back.

Will you show us your commitment today with a donation of any amount? Every dollar helps us defend against new attacks on fair elections.

DONATE

The battle to save our democracy is the defining political fight of this moment. We can win it, but only if we continue to see the overwhelming response this community has shown thus far.

Thank you,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.

Sharing these notes from an NDRC digital team meeting about what's coming down the pike:

• Only roughly half of states have adopted maps
  ➞ Approx. 194 congressional districts left to draw
• Lawsuits in AL, NC, OH, TX
• Federal legislation
  ➞ Pass FTVA and VRAA!

Let me explain. First, there are plenty of districts still to be drawn, so the fight for fair maps is as relevant as ever. Not only have roughly half the states not adopted their maps yet, but the lawsuits I mentioned have the potential to "reset" maps in some of those states.

Then there's the wildcard -- the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The media is reporting we may see movement on these bills early in the new year, which could be a gamechanger for our work!

Here's my takeaway: We have a lot of work left, and we need you on our side more than ever. That brings me to fundraising. I know online donations can slow down as people unplug over the holidays, but we really need to hit our end-of-year goal in order to keep pushing our work forward. Can I count on your support?
