Hey team --
Since launching Redistricting U last week, we have received an unprecedented response -- we have over 600 RSVPs across 21 cities! This training program is central to our plan to deploy educated citizens across the country who will impact the 2021 redistricting process.
600 people is a LOT of volunteers. It means 600 welcome packets, 21 venues for training, countless post-its, markers, pens, notebooks, and snacks on snacks on snacks. It feels like back to school season all over again.
Our Founding Members have helped get this program off the ground -- but now we need a big response from the rest of our supporters to make sure these trainings run smoothly for the next two months.
So we're asking you to become a Comfort Captain and make sure our trainers have everything they need to educate redistricting activists across the country -- and that those activists have snacks at their trainings!

Every city and state are unique, but all are facing a similar threat: map manipulators have tactics to tip the scales in nearly every state during the redistricting process. These are politicians that fear competitive elections because they've become so conditioned to govern for special interests instead of their constituents. So you can see why incumbents across the country will be heavily incentivized to protect their rigged maps -- and why it's so critical that we have a highly-trained network of advocates and allies who know the process and have the tools to hold them accountable.
Redistricting U is designed to put all of the pieces together. We have our first trainings coming up next weekend, and we need a bit more help from our online donors to make our opening weekend a success!
Pitch in a few dollars to become a Comfort Captain and make Redistricting U All On The Line's biggest success yet.
Thanks for your commitment to our work!
