AOTL President Kelly Burton hit it right on the head when she said: “The reason the Republicans are losing in court is because they broke the law.” Nothing more, nothing less.

A new Associated Press report shows Republicans aren’t taking the losses well:

“As maps fall, GOP tries to neutralize state supreme courts” AP REPORTER NICHOLAS RICCARDI || 02-25-2022 HELP US STOP GOP MAP MEDDLING »

Holding GOP map drawers accountable in court is one of our strategies to secure fair maps. And as we help voters in states across the country challenge or protect maps in court, we could use your help to finish this fight strong!

According to a recent report by The Hill, a new GOP strategy to spend big on state supreme court races that could impact future redistricting cases comes after judges in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina overturned or blocked their gerrymandered maps.

HELP US STOP GOP MAP MEDDLING »

Republicans aren’t willing to stop drawing illegal maps, so they’re trying to hand-pick state judges that will uphold their unfair maps.

If you made a donation right now to support our movement, it would help us counteract the GOP’s efforts to manipulate courts and rig maps.

Will you pitch in? Help us show them that sore losers tactics won’t be enough to manipulate the maps.

PAID FOR BY THE NATIONAL REDISTRICTING ACTION FUND. sáb., 5 de mar. às 01:04 HELP US ADVOCATE FOR FAIR MAPS → Sula -- Just 48 hours ago, Wisconsinites were on track to have their next round of elections held on some of the most extreme, right-wing gerrymandered maps in the country. But on Thursday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court showed voters they’re on their side by adopting the fairest maps in front of them -- those proposed by the state’s governor, Tony Evers. We’re committed to helping voters challenge gerrymandered maps and defend fair maps in court. We’re also mobilizing supporters to help end gerrymandering once and for all. We need your help. Will you make a donation to help us raise $30,000 this weekend? And if you make a contribution of at least $50, we’ll add your name to the list of committed fair maps defenders that we plan to discuss with A.G. Holder!

And yet again, our movement was with them every step of the way. The good news is -- Republicans are losing in court because they broke the law. The slew of right-wing losses in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina -- and now Wisconsin -- demonstrate that the era of Republicans simply choosing their own voters without consequences is coming to a close. The bad news is -- Republicans are now investing BIG into electing partisan, right-wing state judges who would uphold their future gerrymandered maps. We need to continue investing in this grassroots movement for fair maps now. Can we count on your support?

It’s almost springtime (early-summer for us Floridians) and it’s a great time for us to do everyone’s favorite annual chore, spring cleaning! The DuPree Team has put together a short list of items often overlooked on your ongoing cleaning duties that will make a difference whether you are considering selling in the future or not. The tips below will make quick work of your spring-cleaning list and get you back to relaxin’ in no time! Wash Your Windows Inside and Out Be sure to pick a cloudy day to wash windows. If it’s too sunny, the cleaning solution will dry too fast and you’ll have streaks. Clean and Lubricate Sliding Door Tracks Sliding glass door tracks probably aren’t the first spots you’d think to clean, but you’ll appreciate having done it before the outdoor entertaining season gets into full swing. Scrub the tracks with an old, dry toothbrush to loosen debris, then use your vacuum hose to remove it. Finish with a wet sponge and some spray lubricant on the contact surface. Clean Often Overlooked Surfaces You may overlook these surfaces throughout the year, but when spring cleaning, give your baseboards, door frames, and walls a good scrub-down. Wash them with a damp sponge and some dish washing liquid mixed in a bucket of warm water. Deep Clean Carpets To maintain a new carpet’s warranty, you may need to have it cleaned professionally every 12-18 months. Otherwise, you can do it yourself by renting a deep cleaner or buying a professional-style model designed for home use. Be Sure to run you’re A/C continuously until the carpets are fully dried, this could take up to 24 hours. Refresh Window Treatments Window Treatments, Curtains and draperies aren’t typically dirty enough to launder. Instead, go over them thoroughly with the upholstery attachment on your vacuum. To remove dust from sheer curtains, put them in the dryer on low with a fabric-softener sheet. Dust Light Fixtures Use a microfiber or lint-free cloth to dust fixtures and bulbs you can reach. For ceiling fans, skip the ladder and use an extendable duster. Get Organized Pick up and eliminate clutter in each room before you start cleaning. Equip yourself with a few designated containers when you are picking up in each room: a box for garage sale items, another for items to donate, and a garbage bag for items to toss. Put away the things you are keeping in their rightful places and rooms. Safety Inspection Spring cleaning is the perfect opportunity to check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If you don’t own a fire extinguisher, purchase one. Learn how to use it and keep it in the kitchen. Power Wash Exterior Surfaces Having your home’s exterior surfaces and windows power-washed won’t just make your home look sharp, it also will prevent the growth of mold and mildew that feed on grime. Gutter Maintenance Clean and repair gutters and downspouts every spring before heavy rains begin and late in autumn after leaves have fallen. Outdoor Furniture Clean and repair furniture for your deck, porch, or patio. Use outdoor spray enamel to touch up chips on painted outdoor furniture. Deep Clean Bedrooms Rotate and flip mattresses. Wash blankets and comforters or take them to be cleaned. Wash mattress pads and bed skirts. Have pillows professionally cleaned, hang them outside in the fresh air, or freshen them with the air cycle of your clothes dryer. Wash or dry-clean rugs. Deep Clean Bathrooms Go through your medicine cabinets and safely discard any outdated products. Replace worn bathmats, shower curtains, and liners, or wash and dry shower curtains and liners. Steam grout and scrub tile surfaces and clean around and behind fixture attachment points. Degrease and Clear Your Kitchen Clear out your pantry, kitchen cabinets, and drawers. Wipe them out with a degreaser to remove any oils that have settled over the year. Store or donate equipment you don’t use, such as small appliances or cookware. Discard stale spices or dated items such as baking powder, sauces etc. Empty then clean the refrigerator and freezer. Vacuum the cooling coils under or behind your refrigerator. Degrease and clean the oven and microwave. Clean under all movable large appliances.

Holder said it’s absolutely necessary to be fully engaged during this final stage of the redistricting process -- and he challenged 5,000 supporters to show their commitment by becoming a 2022 AOTL Member.

The GOP knows this. In fact, they're banking on it. But the NDRC is working to stop them -- and we're winning! Chip in before tonight's end-of-month deadline to help us keep pushing >> The Washington Post reports that while America's white population has shrunk and communities of color have grown over the past decade, “the rapid growth of Latinos and Blacks is not reflected in [most] of the new maps passed so far... Black-majority districts decreased by five seats while majority-White districts grew by eight seats.” Unacceptable! And now Florida's Republican Governor, Ron DeSantis, is trying to slash the number of the state's Black-majority congressional districts IN HALF. Are you going to let that happen?

Sula – Another update from Florida and its 28 congressional seats. Far-right Governor Ron DeSantis has interfered in the redistricting process again by proposing another gerrymandered map that would cut the number of Florida’s majority-Black districts in half.
