I'm Katie Vicsik, the AOTL State Director in Florida. This weekend, I hung out with Shehn, Saumya, and 50 of the most fired up volunteers in Florida to kick off our first Redistricting U trainings.
Thanks to grassroots donors across the country, we hit our goal of 5,000 Founding Members! With the first weekend of trainings in the books, we're finalizing our list of Founding Members. Chip in today to make sure your name is on that list!
Like AG Holder said, ordinary citizens in America have the power -- and the responsibility -- to create change. I can't wait to see the kind of change Redistricting U brings.

Subject: Our plan in action
Friend,
This week, we begin our first Redistricting U trainings in communities that will lead the fight for fair redistricting in 2021. Redistricting U is central to our plan to end gerrymandering -- it means that All On The Line will have citizen leaders prepared and ready to hold elected officials accountable, recruit new volunteers, and educate their neighbors about the impact redistricting will make in their day-to-day lives.
This training initiative is only possible thanks to the many folks who stepped up with a donation -- this work needs grassroots support.
Will you join the Founding Members team? In order to hold map manipulators accountable, we need to build a strong grassroots movement -- and it starts with Redistricting U.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

At the heart of Redistricting U, All On The Line takes on a very simple idea: ordinary citizens in America have the power -- and the responsibility -- to create change. When I travel the country, I hear the frustration of Americans who are tired of elected officials who refuse to act to protect their communities from gun violence, want to roll-back health insurance for their loved ones, or refuse to even acknowledge the threat of climate change. But when we do the work of explaining how manipulated maps obstruct our progress and when we show folks the role that they can play in the redistricting process -- their frustration turns to hope and action.
Redistricting U is driven by all of you -- hopeful citizens who want change on the issues we care about. It's essential to the fight for fair maps. It's how we take the plan to end gerrymandering and customize it to the unique challenges and opportunities in each state. But this level of grassroots organizing is only possible when we have strong support from our grassroots donors.
Will you become a Founding Member today to help us grow the Redistricting U program?
The fight for fair maps is really a fight for our democracy -- because at the end of the day, manipulated electoral maps dilute your power to choose elected officials and then hold them accountable. That's why I'm committed to ending gerrymandering. I believe, together, we can make our democracy work better for the people of this nation, not just politicians and special interests.
Thank you for your support,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
