Thank you, Team DLCC 3X-MATCH: ACTIVE »MAKE IT MONTHLY » Sula, Right now, All On The Line is gearing up to educate voters on a crucial slate of elections in 2025 and 2026, where fair maps could be on the line: Each and every one of these elections is critical to the ongoing fight for democracy, Sula. Anti-democracy forces know how much these elections matter. In states like Florida and Texas, we’ve seen their game plan when they win power in a state — change the rules and manipulate the maps to take more and more power. The work to win these elections is happening now — and there’s much to do, from energizing voters to make their voices heard, to pushing back against attempts to manipulate congressional maps, to educating voters about what’s on their ballots. We need to make sure voters know what’s at stake in elections like these. But it won’t be easy. We expect them to invest heavily in these same state-level races, because whoever wins gets to steer what happens next in the fight for democracy. We must continue to fight for fair maps and fair representation — and these upcoming state-level races are a moment for each of us to double down on our commitment to defend our democracy. Will you make a donation today to help mobilize and educate voters about critical elections and make sure we leave nothing to chance?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has made it clear why he is looking to rig the maps in the GOP’s favor: because Trump told him to. And Republicans in other red states like Missouri and Florida are likely following suit. Republicans at the state level have proven time and again that they are more concerned with kissing the ring than representing their constituents. As Texas state Democrats bring the fight back home, California Democrats have introduced plans for new maps to counter Republican gerrymandering. Democrats across the country will leave no stone unturned to protect voters and our elections. Democrats won’t back down, but we must build power in state legislatures nationwide now to keep it up. Protecting and expanding Democratic control of state legislatures is paramount to protecting our democracy from Republican gerrymandering.

40 Years   Celebration for the  the São Paulo's Womens  Defense Department  at the Bandeirantes Palace

This Wednesday, September 27th, Palácio Bandeirantes hosted a special ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the Women's Defense Department (DDM) of São Paulo, one of the country's pioneers in protecting victims of gender-based violence. The event brought together authorities, government representatives, professionals working in the protection network, and, most importantly, women who dedicate their lives to protecting, informing, and supporting victims of violence throughout the state.

Founded in 1985 in downtown São Paulo, Brazil's first DDM was a milestone in the fight for women's safety and rights. Since then, the network has expanded and evolved, becoming the largest in the country in this field. In addition to the growth in the number of police stations, the state has invested in technology and innovation to expand access to reporting and support for victims, such as online DDMs, 24-hour rooms, and the SP Mulher Segura app, which includes a panic button.

During the ceremony, Governor Tarcísio de Freitas signed a decree establishing a new division of the Civil Police dedicated exclusively to the defense of women, reinforcing the government's commitment to protecting victims. This initiative is another step in strengthening the network to combat violence, which already includes programs such as ankle bracelets for aggressors, the Purple August movement, and the ongoing SP Por Todas movement, which highlights protection efforts throughout the year.

Public Security Secretary Guilherme Derrite emphasized the importance of these ongoing actions, stating that "the signing of the decree is another step toward advancing efforts against domestic violence and ensuring that more women feel safe to report it." He also emphasized the crucial role of the women who work in the units, who, day after day, serve victims of violence with dedication and courage.

The event at Palácio Bandeirantes not only celebrated the past and achievements, but also reinforced the commitment to continue improving and expanding the women's protection network, ensuring they always have someone by their side, protecting, supporting, and welcoming them. Women who, for 40 years and to this day, have kept the movement to protect women by women alive, building a safer and more just society for all.
