Target: State Legislatures, U.S. Congress
Goal: We call on state legislatures and Congress to implement independent redistricting commissions and transparent processes to ensure fair, representative electoral maps for every voter.
Across the country, the redistricting process is being weaponized by partisan actors to entrench their own power. As highlighted by recent coverage, states controlled by a single party—whether Republican or Democrat—are poised to redraw district maps in ways that could skew representation for years to come. This practice, known as gerrymandering, allows politicians to pick their voters instead of voters choosing their representatives.
Gerrymandering dilutes the power of communities, especially those already marginalized, and creates uncompetitive districts where politicians are less accountable to the people. It is a direct attack on the foundations of democracy.
We demand an end to partisan gerrymandering. The solution is clear: independent, nonpartisan redistricting commissions, public transparency, and robust community input. Every voter deserves an equal voice and a fair chance to choose their leaders.
