NO MORE BIG UGLY BILLS. Hey John, Trump’s Big Ugly Bill is now law — and the fact is, most Americans wish it wasn’t. According to Pew Research, way more Americans opposed the legislation (49%) than supported it (29%), and “most Americans are doubtful they would benefit from the bill.” In fact, I think it’s the worst polling I’ve ever seen on a bill! Turns out, people don't like having health care stripped away, or food assistance slashed, or climate progress reversed, or massive tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthy. So, what do these folks do after they passed such a deeply unpopular bill? Of course, pick up the pen and start: gerrymandering! That’s why our work today is so important. By stopping a new, extreme gerrymander in Texas, by fighting to defend Black and Latino opportunity districts, by supporting pro-democracy candidates — this is how we undo the damage that’s being done by this Congress and start to fix the country we love. But to do this, we have to put in the work and make the necessary investments. The single best way for you to help right now is by starting a monthly donation to make sure we have the steady support we need in the redistricting battles ahead — through the end of 2025 and into the 2026 midterms.
Republicans know their only path to success in continuing to hold on to power in the U.S. House is to gerrymander states as much as they possibly can. If their current effort to redraw Texas’s congressional map works out the way Trump has demanded — a “ruthless” gerrymander to pick up five more Republican seats — then regaining a majority next year gets that much tougher. And they’re already turning their sights to other states where they think they can run the same playbook. We have to do everything possible to stop these attacks on democracy and make sure voters have a fair chance to make their voices heard. Start a monthly gift to power the fight for fair maps every single month! Thanks for being in this fight alongside us, John Bisognano
