Biz here with a confession —

I never fully recovered from Obama 2008. That election turned me into an organizer, and these final days before an election brings out the nitty-gritty organizer in me. Here’s what I’m focused on:

Right now, in many races up and down the ballot, the margins look slim. If recent elections are any indication, these small margins will have huge implications:

• The 2020 presidential election was decided by fewer than 100,000 votes across three states.
• In 2022, one Democracy Defender in Minnesota won her race by just 321 votes. That win helped flip control of the Minnesota State Senate to the Democrats.

John, it’s time to focus everything on turning out Democrats to vote. Those margins from past years show that every get–out–the–vote (GOTV) conversation we have in the next 10 days can help decide the outcome in the most important races for our democracy across the country.

It’s time to GOTV. LFG, John. Help fight for Democracy Defenders with everything we can do in the next 10 days — and beyond. Chip in $30 or more/today →

But after witnessing the 2016 loss first hand, I was even more aware of the huge structural issue looming over every election — gerrymandering and the need for redistricting reform. It was a tangible problem that I wanted to fix. That’s why I do this work, and I know that Democrats like you support the NDRC’s multi-pronged approach to address this root issue facing our democracy.

The NDRC uses every possible tool to create a more representative democracy. Right now we’re focused on supporting Democracy Defenders in the most impactful races across the country. After Election Day, we’ll keep our full-throated effort going across multiple platforms to push leaders to uphold reform and pass new pro-democracy legislation. We’ll build cutting-edge mapping infrastructure. And we’ll start working to ensure a fair and accurate 2030 Census.

Rush your gift to help in these final 10 days of the election, and support fair maps organizing in November and beyond:
