Protect Fair Representation: Oppose Partisan Redistricting in Texas

Target: Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Texas State Legislature
Goal: Demand an end to partisan gerrymandering in Texas and call for fair, nonpartisan redistricting that upholds the voting rights of all Texans.
In recent weeks, Texas House Democrats took a principled stand by leaving the state to prevent a quorum and block a Republican-led redistricting plan that would create five additional GOP-leaning House seats. This move was in direct response to efforts to manipulate district lines for partisan advantage, undermining the will of the people and threatening fair representation.
Redistricting should reflect the true makeup of our communities, not be used as a tool to entrench power. Partisan gerrymandering dilutes the voices of everyday Texans, particularly communities of color and working families. The threats of arrest and federal intervention against lawmakers who stood up for democracy are deeply concerning and set a dangerous precedent.
We urge Texas leaders to reject partisan redistricting and instead establish a transparent, independent process that puts voters—not politicians—first. Our democracy depends on fair maps and equal representation for all.
Key Demands
- Reject the proposed partisan redistricting plan that would create additional GOP-leaning districts.
- Establish an independent, nonpartisan redistricting commission to draw fair congressional maps.
- Ensure full transparency and public input in the redistricting process.
- Protect the voting rights of all Texans, especially marginalized and underrepresented communities.
- Cease threats and punitive actions against lawmakers exercising their right to protest undemocratic practices.
