Friend,

Tonight is the first presidential debate, and we can probably count on more misinformation from President Trump about mail-in voting, the census, and who knows what else.

But we already know who Trump is, and why it’s so crucial to make him a one-term president. We can’t let him distract us from what else is at stake in this election: stopping Republicans from another decade of using majority power to enforce their minority views.

Whichever party wins state legislatures this fall will draw electoral maps for the next ten years. The GOP is pouring resources into critical battleground states, and Democratic fundraising is trailing behind. Can you pitch in today to help us close the gap?

If Republicans win control of congressional and state legislative maps, they’ll keep blocking progress on issues like health care, climate change, and racial justice. This election is our last chance to win the fight for fair maps in 2021.

Here at the NDRC, we’ve already made historic investments to flip state legislatures in some of America’s biggest and most gerrymandered states, like Texas. But the GOP is also going after these states, and they have a cash advantage. We need to raise $85,000 this month to catch up. Will you rush a contribution today to help us catch up with the Republicans’ dark money operation?

Team NDRC

Since 2017, the NDRC has executed a comprehensive redistricting strategy that shifts the redistricting power, creating fair districts where Democrats can compete. Our victories have been made possible by our strong community of grassroots supporters. But 2020 will be our most important -- and toughest -- year yet. It's the last year before redistricting, which means it's our last chance to elect the Democrats we trust to fight for fair maps.
