Gerrymandering Decision Shifts the Fight for Fair Maps to States and Congress

[link removed]

The Supreme Court has brought an unfortunate end to the years-long fight to end extreme partisan gerrymandering in federal courts. The ruling is a setback for democracy, undoing a strong, recent string of victories by voters in trial courts around the nation. By refusing to let the federal judiciary tackle this critical issue, the court has set the stage for more attempts at extreme gerrymandering and raised the importance of enacting other reforms.

Don’t miss the chance to double your power!

[link removed]

This week the Supreme Court had an opportunity to advance democracy, and instead chose to dodge their responsibilities by ruling that cases on partisan gerrymandering can’t be heard by federal courts. That means our fight for fair maps just got more urgent.



The people deserve — and demand —elected officials that truly represent them. Not special interests. Not entrenched politicians. We will redouble our efforts against partisan gerrymandering — and we’re depending on you to make sure we keep going!
