Hi there, This is Blaire, National Finance Director at the NDRC. I wanted to reach out directly to thank you for being on this team. Your support comes at a critical moment in our fight to end gerrymandering and preserve our democracy — thank you. I’m also writing to let you know that we’re standing at a precipice for our democracy once again. With Trump and his extremist GOP allies in power, we have our work cut out for us over the next four years. It’s going to take resources to mount this fight, but we’ve done it before, and we’re prepared to do it again — but only with your support. Although Trump and the extremist GOP’s win dealt a devastating blow to our democracy and fair elections, the NDRC fought and won in a number of key races. These Democracy Defenders who we helped elect are prepared to stand up to gerrymandering and serve as a backstop to extreme anti-democracy agendas. We’ve always known that the fight against gerrymandering would be a marathon, not a sprint. When maps are drawn so that politicians pick their voters — rather than the voters picking their politicians — our democracy is not truly representative. Corruption breeds and extremism thrives. Gerrymandering makes it harder for all voices to be heard and for communities to be truly represented. Donald Trump’s second presidency offers an opportunity for us to wake up each day and get back to work, fighting for our democracy and for fair representation. That’s what we’ll be doing every day here at the NDRC — are you with us? From all of us at the NDRC — thank you for standing with us in this critical moment for our democracy. All the best, Blaire Goodrick
