Milwaukee Independent headline: RACIAL GERRYMANDERING: WHY POLITICIANS RIG ELECTION MAPS TO SUPPRESS GROWING COMMUNITIES OF COLOR

Sula,

From Texas to Georgia to North Carolina and all over the country, Republicans are using gerrymandering to increase the voting power of their own constituencies while decreasing the power of communities more likely to favor Democrats. It's often communities of color who are affected most.

Even though racial gerrymandering is illegal, Republicans continue to create maps that pack and crack communities of color -- all while claiming that their aims are purely partisan in nature. Just consider this example from North Carolina:

“When the Republicans re-drew the districts in 2016, they claimed to be aiming for purely partisan districts. But they also drew a line through the middle of North Carolina A&T University, dividing the nation’s largest historically Black university between two congressional districts...”
-- Milwaukee Independent

Those North Carolina maps were eventually made fairer in court -- but the fact of the matter is that Republicans will do anything they can to hold on to power, even if it means undermining our democracy.

The NDRC has been preparing for this round of redistricting since our launch in 2017, and our sole focus has been ensuring maps that provide fair representation for all communities.

But right now the fight for fair maps is at its most critical stage. Some states have already enacted new maps, and more are going into law almost every week now. The NDRC has staff on the ground who are working to analyze those map proposals and mobilize the public to demand fair districts -- but we’re counting on your support at this key moment.

So Sula, if you can, please pitch in today to help us keep fighting to end GOP gerrymandering and DEFEND our democracy:

Mundial Marketing Forum organized by Philip Kotler



 

Philip Kotler, considered the father of world marketing, will promote,from November 5th to 7th, the World Post Pandemic Marketing Forum. In Brazil, the organization of the event will have a partnership between Kotler Impact and Instituto Zanotta. Professor Kotler will address the theme: “Hello tomorrow - building the next normal”. According to Kotler: "Covid-19 will stimulate the transformation of the economy from traditional capitalism to social capitalism." For Professor Ricardo Zanotta, president of the Institute that bears his name, "we were invited to carry out this partnership for Brazil and we consider that it is an unmissable opportunity to promote the latest research and thoughts of world personalities on this topic"

 

The event will take place in an online version and will bring together over a hundred speakers. Until last year, Kotler Impact promoted this forum in person in several countries. But, starting this year, the event will feature a super digital Sympla platform.

 

 About 100 speakers from different countries are already confirmed. Among the Brazilian representatives stand out Luiza Helena Trajano (Magazine Luiza), Paulo Lima (Trip), and Oscar Motomura (Amke/Amana-Key).

 

The World Post Pandemic Marketing Forum will feature 48 hours of lectures, simultaneous translation, in addition to offering “passport” access for 3 months of the entire event. “With this ease, we want to make the maximum use of this world event in Brazil as well”, says Ricardo Zanotta.

Help the NDRC
DEMAND FAIR MAPS
across the country
PITCH IN NOW

Despite communities of color making up nearly all of the population growth in Texas, the new maps actually reduce the voting power those communities will have in congressional elections. This is exactly what we’ve been warning about from the very beginning.

The good news is there’s still time to make a difference in key states across the country. We’re working to shine a light on this egregious abuse of the redistricting process and make sure voters see how Republicans are undermining our representative democracy.

Plus, we’re still supporting the Freedom to Vote Act, which would ban partisan gerrymandering in congressional elections in all 50 states. But we’re counting on YOUR grassroots support to keep up all our critical work!

If you can, please rush a donation to the NDRC right now to help us keep fighting to end GOP gerrymandering and defend our democracy:
