Friend,
I wanted to make sure you saw this headline. Despite everything that's happened in North Carolina -- a court ordering that the maps be redrawn, the process happening in public view, folks stepping up to voice their concerns -- experts say the new maps STILL favor Republicans.
Why won't map manipulators get the point? The American people are demanding fair districts. We're building the movement to make sure elected officials across the country get the message -- will you chip in to support our work?

Although this is not the end of the fight in North Carolina -- the maps will now be reviewed by the court -- this is what we're up against. Even with intervention from the courts and loud calls for transparency, too many politicians will put their own partisan interests ahead of the people. They will manipulate maps and pick their voters. Now they're just doing it in plain view instead of behind closed doors.
As Kelly said yesterday, this North Carolina process could be a blueprint for the next few years. We need to build up our capacity NOW to make sure we can hold politicians accountable and make them aware that there will be a strong grassroots response when they try to manipulate maps.
Can you chip in a few dollars to the AOTL training fund? We're committed to empowering folks to be leaders in the fight for fair maps -- but we need your support.
Thanks for your help,
-- Patrick
