Target: U.S. Congress, State Legislatures, Governors of Texas and California
Goal: To urge state and federal lawmakers to adopt independent, transparent redistricting processes and end partisan gerrymandering in all states.
Across the country, partisan redistricting threatens the core of our democracy. In Texas, Republican lawmakers are pushing for new House maps that could give them five additional seats, while in California, Democrats are advancing proposals to counterbalance these changes. This tit-for-tat approach risks turning our electoral system into a battleground for partisan advantage, rather than a fair process that ensures every vote counts equally.
Redistricting should not be a tool for politicians to entrench their power. Instead, it must be a transparent process guided by independent commissions, public input, and a commitment to fair representation for all communities. When politicians manipulate district lines for their own gain, it silences voters and undermines trust in our institutions.
We call on lawmakers in every state to reject partisan gerrymandering and implement reforms that put people over politics. The health of our democracy depends on it.
