Sula Costa Daily NYC

 

Sula,

Have you ever wondered who draws the district lines in your state — the lines that have incredible power over who gets a say in our democracy?

In many states, it’s elected officials themselves who determine who their voters are — a bit like the fox guarding the hen house.

Visit Redistricting Action’s new resource to explore who controls the lines in your state.

Sula, the redistricting crisis driven by extremist politicians is one that’s entirely preventable. While we respond to this critical moment to preserve our democracy in the short term, we simultaneously have to work to restore fairness in our redistricting process for the long haul.

That’s why we support the passage of the Redistricting Reform Act, which would require every state to have independent commissions draw its maps instead of power-hungry politicians. Crucially, every state would be held to the same standards to achieve fair maps — putting our nation back on the path to a true democracy.

Support Redistricting Action’s work to end unfair redistricting wherever it exists, and help us fight for a federal solution that would stop these gerrymandering schemes.

Thank you for sticking with us in this battle and for helping us work toward a long-term solution to unfair maps — ensuring that voters get to choose their politicians, not the other way around.

— The Redistricting Action Team

First, I quit the Republican Party. Then, I founded the Lincoln Project. Now, I’m running for Congress in New York to help save our democracy from Trump. Listen, I know, I’m not your typical Democrat – but times like these require people who know how to fight fire with fire.

Republicans are failing America, and Democrats are failing to stop them. We keep running the same plays, election after election, hoping we’ll see different results. But I’ve got news for you: It’s not working, and the future of the country hangs in the balance. Look, Democrats’ success in November proved there’s hope. Trump may think he’s a king on a throne, but we’re this close to toppling his wannabe-dictatorship. If we can take back Congress for Democrats, we can cut Trump’s MAGA agenda off at the knees. To do it, we need a fearless candidate who’s been on the inside, who knows what makes the MAGA machine tick, and who can rewrite the playbook and WIN. That’s why I’m running, friend. I know how these a**holes operate. I know how they think, and I’ve seen firsthand the devastation wrought by the selfishness of Trump’s MAGA agenda. We cannot let this be our future.

You see, the USO is the only nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the 2.1 million brave souls currently serving in our Armed Forces and Reserves, keeping them connected to family, loved ones and the comforts of home no matter when and where duty takes them. Yet it currently costs $230,000 a day to carry out this mission of providing service members with free Wi-Fi to call home, warm meals and care packages in the field and even visits from our specially trained canine volunteers. And the need is growing as the size of and demands for the Armed Forces grow.

With your help, the USO won’t stop until every service member knows that you and I have their backs. For the People Who Serve, Michael S.
