Target: Texas State Legislature and Governor
Goal: Demand an end to partisan gerrymandering in Texas and the establishment of independent redistricting commissions to safeguard fair representation.
The recent push to redraw congressional maps in Texas for partisan advantage exposes a serious vulnerability in our democratic system. When politicians are allowed to manipulate district boundaries, they can rig elections in their favor, undermining the principle that voters should choose their representatives—not the other way around.
This crisis is not isolated to Texas; it is spreading to other states and threatens the very foundation of fair elections across the country. The attempt to add more partisan seats at the request of national political leaders is a blatant effort to entrench power and silence the will of the people.
We call on Texas lawmakers to reject partisan gerrymandering and to put the power back in the hands of the voters by establishing an independent redistricting commission. Our democracy depends on fair maps and equal representation for all.
