Here's the situation, friend -- we've made an impact in this fight for fair maps, but as AG Holder said there is still a tough road ahead.

We're gearing up for a big month in February. We expect developments in states like Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. For many of these states, we need to be able to activate our grassroots volunteers to ensure wins.

Subject: A chance to fix a broken system


Every single vote cast in this country has been the result of hard-fought community advocacy by people who wanted to make change -- from our founding documents and the 15th Amendment to the 19th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act. And while we have made significant progress to protect the right to vote, we have had to combat voter suppression every step of the way.

The battles we fight now may look different, but they are rooted in the same fight for the right to vote that we've been fighting since the inception of this nation. In fact, our work to end gerrymandering is a fight to ensure that every vote counts.

We have already made an impact in this fight, but there is still a tough road ahead. We're not backed by special interests, which is why our grassroots movement needs you to support and sustain the organizing and advocacy efforts that will be critical for the next two years. Donate to the AOTL Advocacy Fund to support the volunteers fighting for fair maps.

We're standing at the horizon of a once-in-a-decade chance to fix a broken system. We know the problem -- politicians in gerrymandered districts are able to pass bills that are inconsistent with their constituents' values without any electoral consequence.

The solution is a fair system -- because when the system is fair, the will of the people prevails. Making sure our communities receive fair representation during 2021 redistricting also depends on achieving an accurate census count this year. It's why we've been talking to, and working with, partner organizations for months about how to emphasize the importance of the census.

We also need to strengthen our on-the-ground organizing efforts and we have no time to spare. Grassroots action and transparency in the process are the only ways we can hold politicians accountable for a fair redistricting effort.

All On The Line is leading the fight for fair maps by empowering people with tools, training, and infrastructure. But we need your help! Donate here to fund these crucial organizing efforts:

As voting begins in the 2020 primaries, we must not lose sight of what happens at the state and local level. We have a chance to fix maps that were gerrymandered in 2011 -- a chance for the people to decide the direction of our nation for years to come.

This work is vital to the future of our democracy. I hope I can count on your support.

Thank you,

-- Eric H. Holder, Jr.
