Defend Fair Representation: Stop Partisan Gerrymandering and Protect Our Democracy
Related Article: In Trump's redistricting push, Democrats find an aggressive identity and progressives are on board - Boston News, Weather, Sports | WHDH 7News - whdh.com - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 10:21:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: State Legislatures, Governors, U.S. Congress
Goal: We call on state legislatures, governors, and Congress to take immediate steps to end partisan gerrymandering, protect independent redistricting commissions, and guarantee fair elections for all Americans.
Across the country, Republican-led efforts to redraw congressional districts threaten to entrench minority rule and undermine the will of the people. In states like Texas, Democratic legislators have bravely taken action to block aggressive gerrymandering that would silence millions of voters.
Meanwhile, Democratic governors and lawmakers are mobilizing to counter these attacks, recognizing that the stakes are nothing less than the future of American democracy. The time for half-measures and deference to outdated norms is over. We need bold action to ensure that our elections are free, fair, and truly representative.
Gerrymandering distorts our democracy, allowing politicians to pick their voters instead of the other way around. It leads to unaccountable government, entrenched power, and policies that do not reflect the needs of the people. We demand that our leaders fight back against partisan redistricting and commit to real reforms that put people over party.
Key Demands
- Enact federal and state legislation to ban partisan gerrymandering and require fair, transparent redistricting processes.
- Protect and expand the use of independent redistricting commissions in all states.
- Ensure that any new district maps are subject to public input and rigorous review for fairness and compliance with the Voting Rights Act.
- Reject any attempts to use redistricting as a tool for partisan gain or to disenfranchise communities of color.
- Support national standards for fair representation and equal voting power for all Americans.
