"[Republicans] must realize this strategic opportunity and not concern themselves with 'fairness'..."
-- Allen West, chairman of the Texas Republican party, encouraging his party to gerrymander

Pitch in to our Democracy Restoration Fund ยป [link removed]

Politicians aren't even trying to hide their plans to gerrymander -- anti-democratic calls to manipulate maps are stemming from leaders at the top and are part of a larger strategy to seize power without accountability from the people.

All On The Line's state-by-state approach is key to building accountability when party leaders like West openly call for partisanship over fairness. We are going to mobilize folks to call for transparency and accountability in redistricting.

In fact, just yesterday, I hosted a deep dive training with hundreds of volunteers in Texas about what's happening in our redistricting process and where map manipulators might obstruct fair maps. With your help, we can continue expanding our efforts all across the country.

If 27 people from D.C. made a $15 donation right now to our Democracy Restoration Fund, it would help fund our state-by-state strategy to provide political accountability in Texas and all across the country. Will you pitch in?

We're already seeing attempts to erode accountability here in Texas. After the Texas House refused to pass commonsense amendments that would mandate procedures like providing live recordings of redistricting committee meetings and enabling virtual testimony for the public to weigh in -- we launched an online advocacy tool so folks could speak out by contacting their representative.

Our team understands extreme politicians in Texas and all across our country see the writing on the wall and know that manipulating the redistricting process is one of their last chances to undemocratically hold onto power. It's why they block transparency measures -- or as we saw in Texas, launch "public input hearings" with zero notice for the public to prepare.

But Texas is just one of our target states -- there are many more states where we're working to ensure accountability and transparency during redistricting and we need your help to make that happen.

A $15 donation from D.C. would help us continue growing our Democracy Restoration Fund so we can accomplish our goals in our target states. Can we count on you to make a contribution?

With your help, we can save our democracy by ensuring fair maps -- the first step is providing transparency and accountability during the redistricting process.

Proud of you and our movement,
