Target: California State Legislature
Goal: Urge California lawmakers to approve the proposed fair maps and empower voters to have the final say in a special election.
Across the country, partisan gerrymandering is threatening the foundations of our democracy. In Texas, recent redistricting efforts have been engineered to entrench political power and silence the voices of millions of voters. In response, California has taken a bold step by releasing new congressional maps that prioritize fair representation and give every community a voice.
These proposed maps would likely flip five Republican-held seats, ensuring that California’s congressional delegation truly reflects the diversity and values of its residents. With a crucial vote coming up in the State Legislature, it’s vital that our elected officials stand up for democracy and put power back in the hands of the people.
We call on the California State Legislature to approve these maps with a two-thirds majority, allowing voters to decide in a special election. Let’s set a national example for fair, transparent, and equitable redistricting.
