Sula, For us, Pi Day (3/14) means pie, and that means pie charts. So we thought we’d take this opportunity to show you one of 2021’s worst Republican gerrymanders in pie chart form – then ask you to contribute $20 or whatever you can toward our mid-month goal. In Ohio, a state where Republicans have won just over half of the vote in recent elections, Republicans had the gall to draw a congressional map that would have given a whopping 80% of seats to the GOP! Here’s the good news – that map was struck down by the state Supreme Court. State Supreme Courts also ruled in favor of fair redistricting in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. But the bad news is that Republicans frustrated with state Supreme Courts are conspiring to stack those courts to get the redistricting outcomes they want! The bottom line here is that our work to demand fair redistricting is far from over. That’s why we’re asking you to make a Pi Day gift to the NDRC. Will you chip in $20 or whatever you can to support the fight for fair maps across the country? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $10 Donate $20 Donate $50 Donate $100 Donate $150 Another amount You’ve gotten us this far. Will you help us go all the way? Happy Pi Day, Team NDRC   DONATE Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete.

NDRC Finance Team here. We’re writing because tonight is the mid-month deadline and we’re hoping you can help us out with a donation. As we enter the next phase of our work, it’s critical we have the resources to be agile and impactful. We’re going to be holding Republicans to account for their gerrymandering. We’re going to fight to help elect officials that support fair maps this November. And we’re still working on the ground to prevent gerrymandering and, with our affiliates, supporting voters in fair redistricting lawsuits. President Obama said it best: "If we don’t fight for fair maps now, we won’t have another chance until 2031." So let’s make the most of the time we have – can you donate before midnight?

HOW TO GET FEATURED IN FORBES MAGAZINE Thursday, 14 April 2022 at 18:00 111 Seven Sisters Road - London N7 7FN - United Kingdom Get Tickets seg., 14 de mar. às 12:05 One more update from Florida, Sula. FIRST far-right Governor Ron DeSantis injected himself into redistricting by proposing a map that would cut the number of majority-Black congressional districts in half. THEN when his proposal didn’t get much traction, DeSantis threatened that “he’s prepared to veto any congressional map that preserves the North Florida district held by Rep. Al Lawson, a Black Democrat from Tallahassee.” (Politico) NOW The Florida legislature has passed a two-map bill: with one map that severely alters Rep. Lawson’s district, and a BACKUP PROPOSAL in case courts strike down the first one. And get this: DeSantis’ desperation to gerrymander is so deep, that he said he’ll even veto the manipulated maps advanced by the legislature because they’re not extreme enough. His overt attempt to eliminate a majority-Black district is OUTRAGEOUS. We’re pushing back. The NDRC is on the ground in Florida, and we’re working across the country to stop schemes like this one and hold the GOP accountable. But we can’t do it without your help. Will you pitch in immediately?

HELP US END GERRYMANDERING » Sula -- Republicans believed they could easily manipulate the maps in states where they had control over the redistricting process. And in many places, they did. But their strategy underestimated voters. When voters in Ohio were the first to successfully challenge gerrymandered congressional maps, A.G. Holder said Republicans underestimated the tenacity of this grassroots movement -- and promised we’d continue to be involved as the process unfolded. That’s why we helped voters challenge another gerrymandered congressional map passed by the Republican-led redistricting commission in Ohio. We need to keep this momentum going strong. Our Executive Director set a goal to raise $25,000 by Tuesday night -- will you chip in?

Reuters: “U.S. Supreme Court rebuffs Republicans in electoral map disputes” This is big, Sula. A few days ago, the Supreme Court refused to grant emergency relief to Republicans in North Carolina and Pennsylvania who were making a last-ditch effort to block fair maps approved by their state Supreme Courts. This means the 2022 congressional elections in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, two of the most gerrymandered states in 2011, will be held on fair maps! This is an enormous victory that deserves to be celebrated. Will you mark the occasion by sending $5 or whatever you can to support the NDRC’s work toward fair redistricting across the country? If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Donate $10 Donate $20 Donate $50 Donate $100 Donate $150 Another amount A.G. Holder said it: Thanks in part to our work, Republicans are being held accountable for their arrogant attempts to illegitimately draw their way to political power. This time they were stopped, Sula. We don’t know what will happen next time. Just weeks ago, the Supreme Court allowed the 2022 congressional elections in Alabama to proceed under a manipulated map. So we MUST continue to be vigilant and use every avenue available to fight Republican gerrymandering. That takes resources, which takes YOU. Don’t wait – chip in today!
