Target: State Legislatures and Governors of California, Texas, and all U.S. states
Goal: We call on state leaders and lawmakers to ensure all congressional redistricting is conducted by independent, nonpartisan commissions, not politicians seeking partisan advantage.
The ongoing redistricting battles in California and Texas highlight a dangerous trend: politicians using their power to redraw congressional maps for partisan advantage. In Texas, proposed maps could grant Republicans five new House seats, while California's response seeks to counterbalance this by reshaping districts to favor Democrats. This tit-for-tat approach undermines the principle of fair representation and erodes public trust in our democracy.
Redistricting should not be a tool for political parties to entrench their power. Instead, it must reflect the will of the people, ensuring that every vote counts equally and every community has a voice. We urge state leaders to commit to independent, transparent redistricting processes, free from partisan manipulation.
We demand immediate action to protect the integrity of our elections and restore faith in our democratic institutions.
