Target: Democratic Governors, State Legislatures, and the Democratic National Committee
Goal: Urge Democratic leaders and state officials to use all available tools to prevent partisan gerrymandering, defend fair districts, and commit to nationwide reforms that protect democracy for all.
Partisan gerrymandering is once again threatening the integrity of our democracy. Republican officials in states like Texas are pushing new congressional maps designed to silence millions of voters and cement their power for years to come. In response, Democratic lawmakers have begun to fight back—delaying harmful maps, organizing nationwide rallies, and pledging to create fairer districts in states under their control.
This moment demands more than words. It requires action. We urge Democratic leaders to stand united, use their legislative and executive powers, and take every legal and political step necessary to protect fair representation. This includes countering GOP gerrymandering, supporting public mobilization, and advancing reforms that end partisan map-drawing for good.
We also call for a commitment to long-term solutions: passing federal legislation to ban gerrymandering, eliminate big money from politics, and restore the Voting Rights Act. The fight for democracy cannot wait. Our communities, our rights, and the future of our country are at stake.
