I have great news, John.

The Virginia House of Delegates just passed the anti-gerrymandering amendment! Voters will now have the opportunity to make gerrymandering illegal in Virginia at the ballot this November.

This is a huge victory for our partners at OneVirginia2021 and all Virginians. It shows how much impact we can make when we all work together. Thousands of RepresentUs members like you got involved in this campaign and created real pressure that the politicians couldn’t ignore.

Will you share this graphic on Facebook to celebrate the big win in Virginia and spread the word about our movement’s momentum?

I’m amazed by how much work this team put in to get Virginia politicians to pass the amendment, which ends a corrupt practice that rigs elections by letting politicians choose their voters. Over the last month, RepresentUs members joined phonebanks and textbanks to reach out to over 70,000 Virginia voters directly, we traveled to the State Capitol to meet with politicians, and we delivered petition signatures to legislators from over 3,400 RepresentUs members representing all 50 states.

We will need to replicate this energy in the months ahead as we continue the fight to make gerrymandering illegal in states across the country. That includes making sure this amendment wins in November.

But for the moment, let’s celebrate this triumph for voters in Virginia and supporters of fair districts across the nation. Please share the victory graphic on Facebook to tell everyone that you are part of a winning movement that’s ending gerrymandering nationwide.

Thanks again for all you do,

Jen Johnson Movement Director RepresentUs
