John, in times like these, I remember that America’s progress has never been smooth or steady. It doesn’t travel in a straight line. It zigs and zags in fits and starts. For every two steps forward, it feels like we take one step back.
But progress has been this nation’s hallmark — because of the dreamers and innovators and organizers and activists who have never given up hope. I’m talking about people like you, John, and the champions of our democracy like the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) who understand that our future is in our hands.
It depends on us, on the choices we make, particularly at certain inflection points in history — when so much is at stake.
We are at such an inflection point right now. What we each choose to do in this moment matters — particularly when it comes to safeguarding our democracy. I hope you’ll join me in supporting my friends at the NDRC leading the fight against gerrymandering — which diminishes the power individual voters have to bend the arc towards justice at the ballot box.

Since its founding eight years ago, I've been proud to support the NDRC and its Chairman, my friend Eric Holder. It’s because of this work that the last few election cycles have seen the fairest maps of my lifetime. It’s a big part of the reason we didn’t see a red wave in 2022, as some expected. And it’s why the margins in Congress are razor-thin today.Think about this: Last year, the NDRC helped elect 116 of their endorsed Democracy Defender candidates — breaking a Republican supermajority in the Wisconsin State Senate, winning critical state supreme court elections in North Carolina and Michigan, and flipping key seats in state legislatures across the country. At moments like this, every single one of those victories is a step in the right direction.
Our democracy is stronger today because of the NDRC — but our work together is far from complete, and more important than ever.
Whether it’s increased attacks on the Census or extreme partisan gerrymandering, too many people are at risk of being deliberately left out of our democracy. And unlike the days when congressional and legislative districts were redrawn once a decade, these fights are now happening every year. Yes, including 2025.
There’s a lot of work to do in this moment and each of us has a role to play, which is why I need to ask directly: Will you join me in supporting the NDRC’s work by making a donation right now? [[link removed]]
Thank you,
