Friend,
At J Street, we focus on fixing the broken politics of US foreign policy and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict -- but it’s no secret that our democracy faces a far broader structural crisis.
On so many issues -- from healthcare to gun violence to immigration to endless wars -- Congress often fails to take actions that represent the true will of the American people. It’s a problem fueled by congressional gerrymandering and a system which, for almost a decade now, has allowed many politicians to pick their voters, instead of the other way around.
As head of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, former attorney general under President Obama Eric Holder is leading an urgent campaign ahead of the 2021 redistricting period to fight for fairer maps and more representative districts. Join Eric Holder and J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami on Monday, July 20 at 2pm ET for an important briefing on J Stream >>
Holder’s national redistricting strategy includes investment in crucial down-ballot races, support for redistricting reforms in statehouses across the country, legal action to have gerrymandered maps tossed out and the mobilization of a massive army of grassroots activists to fight for these core democratic reforms.
In this conversation, we’ll talk about the crucial redistricting battles we’ll face in 2021, as well as the impact a more representative Congress could have on US policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and so many other urgent issues facing our country. We’ll also discuss the latest voter suppression efforts from the Trump campaign and how we can fight back.
Register now to join J Street’s redistricting strategy briefing with Eric Holder on Monday, July 20 at 2pm ET>>
Thank you,
Ilya Braverman, National Political Director
