John,

Our pressure campaign is working! The Virginia Senate just passed the anti-gerrymandering amendment with massive bipartisan support – but the amendment is still stalled in the House of Delegates.

With just three weeks left to pass an anti-gerrymandering amendment in Virginia, dozens of delegates still haven’t gone on the record saying whether they’re in support of the voters, or of the corrupt status quo.

We need to convince them that it’s in their best interests to side with the voters – so we’re releasing an ad with their faces, to push them to pass the anti-gerrymandering amendment.  Share the video now to spread their faces across the internet and get their attention.

If they see that everyone in the country is talking about this, we can pressure them to do the right thing and pass the anti-gerrymandering amendment.

If you're just catching up, here's where things are at: 

  • Virginia is one of America's worst-gerrymandered states – allowing politicians to steal elections by drawing their own voting districts.
  • We have one last chance to make gerrymandering illegal in Virginia before voting districts are redrawn in 2021 with an amendment in the legislature.
  • RepresentUs members are pushing hard to win – we've made hundreds of calls, delivered thousands of petition signatures, and met in person with politicians.
  • Our pressure campaign is working. The Senate overwhelmingly passed the amendment with a vote of 38-2, and we’ve already convinced one undecided delegate to change her vote to yes.

We have just 3 weeks left to push this across the finish line.

Watch and share the video now to put a spotlight on these undecided delegates. None of these delegates want the entire country focusing on them and wondering if they’re in favor of gerrymandering. 

Let’s put their faces everywhere and make it so they have no choice but to stand with voters and end gerrymandering.
