TOP STORY 3 key growth areas for alcohol brands and retailers This year, we forecast US off-premise alcohol retail sales (i.e., alcohol purchased for at-home consumption) will grow by a modest 3.5% to $178.20 billion.

This is just common sense. Although more than 90% of Americans support comprehensive background checks, current federal law does not require unlicensed sellers to conduct them before transferring a firearm. But I know we can change that. Expanding background checks would be a critical step forward in combating the senseless gun violence that has devastated families and communities across Nevada and the country. This campaign is about fighting for what matters to Nevadans and I want your input. I believe we need meaningful progress on gun safety reform, but I want to know that you're with me, friend.  I'm looking for 10,000 supporters to stand up for universal background checks by midnight tonight – but time is running out, and I'm still missing your signature. This campaign is about listening to what you have to say. Your input is critical to our strategy. So please: Will you add your name right now to confirm your support for expanding background checks and saving lives from gun violence?

Some big changes come in states with long-running gerrymandering problems. In North Carolina, with newly sworn-in justices, the state supreme court has controversially agreed to reconsider the Harper v. Hall ruling that struck down the legislature’s gerrymandered state senate map. Will the state’s court be as willing as its predecessors to enforce meaningful limits on gerrymandering? Will you make a donation of $23 or more to support our work to protect fair maps in places like North Carolina and push back against gerrymandering?  Help Protect Fair Maps >>   BRENNAN CENTER REDISTRICTING ROUNDUP: “The House majority Republicans won in 2022 is so slim that many are eyeing an epic rematch in 2024, but as the Brennan Center’s Michael Li points out in a new piece, 'There’s a big wild card in the mix: In a number of states, the maps used in 2022 may not be the ones used in 2024.’” As the Brennan Center noted, some states may also have to pass new maps depending on the results of federal lawsuits. In Alabama, a district court ruled that Alabama’s new congressional district map likely violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and diluted Black voting power. And now, the redrawing of the maps is currently on hold while the Supreme Court hears an appeal of the Merrill v. Milligan decision. Will the U.S. Supreme Court adopt a more restrictive interpretation of the VRA? All On The Line and its affiliates support voters in states like North Carolina and Alabama in and outside the court to keep up the fight for fair maps and end gerrymandering.
