Target: Texas State Legislature and Governor Greg Abbott
Goal: Demand the Texas State Legislature halt the partisan redistricting process and establish an independent commission to draw fair, nonpartisan congressional maps.
Right now, the Texas State Legislature, under the direction of Governor Greg Abbott, is moving forward with a plan to redraw congressional districts in a way that would unfairly benefit one political party. This mid-decade redistricting is a clear attempt at a power grab, threatening the integrity of our elections and silencing the voices of millions of Texans.
Former Congressman Beto O'Rourke and activists across the state are calling out this attack on democracy. At a time when over 150 rallies have taken place nationwide to resist efforts to undermine fair elections, Texas stands at the forefront of this fight. If Texas and other states like California are forced into partisan redistricting, it could trigger a coast-to-coast crisis for democracy.
We cannot allow politicians to choose their voters. We must demand a transparent, independent process that respects the will of the people and protects the rights of all communities. Join us in urging the Texas State Legislature and Governor Abbott to stop this undemocratic process now.
