"Not only did Democrats break this mini-streak of good redistricting cycles for Republicans, but they also reversed the effects of two pro-GOP redistricting cycles in one fell swoop."
-- FiveThirtyEight

Without All On The Line and other fair map advocates, Republicans could have easily repeated their 2011 gerrymandering power grab.

If you’re excited about these victories but ready to build on them over the next decade, will you support our team right now?

As FiveThirtyEight noted, the House playing field is shaping up to be “more balanced than it has been in decades.”

After years of mobilizing and engaging supporters like you, All On The Line and fair map advocates are finally seeing the pay-off of executing our strategic plan.

But there are still a few states finalizing maps -- including Florida -- which could impact this calculation if we allow map manipulation to go unchecked.

Will you make a one-time donation of $28 -- one dollar for each of Florida’s congressional districts -- to make sure we can continue fighting for fair maps and elections?

“We know Republicans have proven time and again that they will do whatever it takes in these states and elsewhere to preserve partisan gerrymandering so they can lock in their own power.” -- Eric H. Holder, Jr.
A.G. Holder is well aware that conservatives are turning to extreme strategies to get the upper-hand -- from stacking the court with hand-picked judges to promoting a radical legal theory that would undercut the branches of state government they don't control.

All On The Line and A.G. Holder have a plan in place to make sure they don’t get away with it.

ALERT
“An outdated legal theory could let Republicans subvert election results and redistricting processes

– Michigan Advance


Help us fight back!

Sula – Republicans are trying to undermine our fundamental system of checks and balances. Here’s how:

The “independent state legislature” theory is a legal argument that says the only branch of state government that should have a say in how congressional elections are held is the legislature. In other words, the governor has no veto power, state courts can’t hold legislatures accountable for manipulated maps, and independent redistricting commissions have no place.

Sound extreme? It is. But Republicans in multiple states (that all have GOP-controlled legislatures) are pushing this argument hard, and a number of conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices have hinted that they’re open to it!

So what do we do? We fight back:

➞ By helping to elect Democrats so Republican state legislatures don’t have a chance to gerrymander

➞ By supporting independent redistricting commissions

➞ By, with our affiliates, supporting voters who challenge gerrymanders and defending fair maps in court

➞ By engaging the public in the fight against gerrymandering

➞ By staying vigilant and reacting quickly to underhanded schemes like Republicans’ promotion of the independent state legislature theory!

The bottom line is we can’t let this outdated legal theory allow the GOP to subvert fair elections. We need you with us in the fight for fair maps – will you chip in today?

Veteran serves his community after completing online MSN program

Once he completed his BSN and started working at a VA Medical Center, his nursing mentor and fellow Marine suggested that he enroll in SNHU’s online MSN program. This inspired him to start a journey that would transform his life — and the lives of those around him.

New York Times: A Potential Rarity in American Politics: A Fair Congressional Map "This year's congressional map, despite continued gerrymandering, is poised to have a nearly equal number of districts that lean Democratic and Republican."

But A.G. Holder warned about the dangers of growing complacent, especially with these state updates over the last month:

→ The SCOTUS’s ruling reversed the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision picking legislative maps.
→ Ohio’s Republican-controlled redistricting commission passed its FOURTH set of gerrymandered legislative maps.
→ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed gerrymandered congressional maps because they apparently weren’t manipulated enough for him.
→ The Louisiana Legislature voted to override the governor’s veto on their unfair congressional map that limited Black voters’ ability to elect candidates of their preference.

If you’re able, will you make a donation to All On The Line? We’re helping voters challenge gerrymandered maps in court while continuing to advocate for a fair process in states that are still drawing maps.

Team -- We MUST show the far-right majority on the Supreme Court that we will not stand by while Republicans wage a war on abortion rights in this country.

The latest case before the Court could be the one that OVERTURNS Roe v. Wade and erases a vital constitutional right. The threat is so dire that Justice Sotomayor is DIRECTLY calling out the dangers.

Sula – FiveThirtyEight just confirmed what The New York Times reported a couple of weeks ago: Redistricting will be fairer this cycle than in 2011!

They’re both right. And we have this movement to thank! If you can, will you rush a donation right away to help us keep fighting for fair maps all over the country? Our work isn’t over by a long shot.

Rotating GIF w/headline and excerpt: FiveThirtyEight: 'The House Map’s Republican Bias Will Plummet In 2022…' | The New York Times: 'The surprisingly fair map defies the expectations of many analysts [and] reflects a decade-long effort by progressives to combat Republican-led gerrymanders in courts, legislatures and at the ballot box.'

We’re celebrating, but we’re not resting – because even at this stage, Republicans are refusing to let go of their gerrymandering! They’re pulling every trick in the book, they’re whining to the U.S. Supreme Court, and when that doesn’t work, they’re investing in stacking state supreme courts with their handpicked candidates. If we let up now, they could reverse all the gains we’ve made toward fairness.

So we need you to stick with us, Sula. If you’re proud of our victories but know the fight isn’t over yet, will you pitch in now to help us keep working hard for fair redistricting?

Thanks,
NDRC
