Target: Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Legislature, and Congressional Leadership
Goal: Demand transparent, nonpartisan redistricting processes and defend voting rights against partisan manipulation in Texas and across the nation.
Across the United States, partisan politicians are attempting to redraw congressional maps to entrench their own power and undermine the will of voters. In Texas, Republican leaders are preparing another special legislative session to push through redistricting plans designed to favor their party, following pressure from former President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, California and other states are taking steps to counterbalance these moves, highlighting the urgent need for national action.
Gerrymandering distorts democracy, allowing politicians to choose their voters instead of voters choosing their representatives. This practice disproportionately harms communities of color and undermines public trust in our electoral system. We cannot allow backroom deals and partisan interests to dictate the future of our democracy.
We call on state and federal leaders to commit to transparent, independent redistricting processes that respect the rights of all voters. The balance of power in Congress—and the integrity of our democracy—depend on it. Join us in demanding fair maps and equal representation for all.
