🚨Texas passed their gerrymandered map.
But the fight’s not over.
Sula,
Today is a dark day for our democracy.
In the dead of night, Texas rammed through their extreme gerrymandered map, which Republicans believe will steal five more seats for them in Congress.
Our team's analysis shows that these politicians are stealing power for themselves by taking away the voting power of Texas citizens, and are specifically targeting communities of color.
Let’s be clear: Texas will have to defend this in court. This map is discriminatory – full stop. Our affiliate was already challenging the previous gerrymander and won’t back away from this fight. The federal courts should intervene quickly to protect the rights of Texas voters.
And while egregious and anti-democratic, what happened in Texas has galvanized our grassroots movement to stand up and fight back. That’s important because the fight is expanding, and fast. While the work is underway to stop this map from taking effect, we must also organize to prevent similar power grabs in states like Missouri, Indiana, and beyond.
The fight is just beginning — and we need you with us, Sula. Rush a donation to power the fair maps movement and help us fight back with everything we’ve got.

Our work in the next phase of this fight has already begun. As politicians in states across the country look to Texas as a playbook for what they can get away with — we’re mobilizing grassroots supporters everywhere we can to make sure politicians can’t thwart the will of the people.
We’ve got to make clear in this moment that the vast majority of Americans reject what Texas just did and view it for what it is: Cheating.
Thanks for being a part of this movement — more soon.
