District of Columbia is at a high or extreme risk for gerrymandering and we need your help to stop it. Text 413-225-5100 right now to join our Democracy Defense Force and get up-to-the-minute updates on what you can do to help fight rigged voting maps.

John:

Our Gerrymandering Threat Index reports that District of Columbia is at extreme or high risk of gerrymandering this year, along with 34 other states. 

Partisan politicians are setting out to rig your state’s voting districts for the next 10 years to focus on maintaining their power, not representing the voters. 

The only way to stop these politicians is to make it clear that they’ll pay a political price for rigging our maps when they’re next up for re-election. Our new Democracy Defense Force is on the frontlines of that campaign — serving as an ‘emergency broadcast system’ for attacks on our democracy. Text 413-225-5100 to join us now and we’ll reach out to you with rapid response action opportunities faster than we can contact you by email or phone call.

Our Gerrymandering Threat Index outlined just how dire the situation really is: 35 states and 188 million Americans are under threat of having their maps rigged and their elections effectively fixed.

Our brand new Democracy Defense Force will have two equally important tasks: Fight gerrymandering in states across America, and pass the For the People Act, banning congressional gerrymandering in all 50 states.

If we don’t act now, we’ll have to wait another decade to unrig our voting districts and put power back into the hands of the American people. So text 413-225-5100 right now to join our Democracy Defense Force and get the absolute latest updates on what you can do to help fight for fair maps in District of Columbia and across the country. 

188 million Americans under threat sure sounds bad — but it also gives us a huge pool of voters who have a reason to fight back. Politicians of both parties are guilty of rigging voting maps. And all of us — conservatives, progressives, and independents — have a reason to want to stop it.

I’ll have more to update you on soon. For now, thank you for being a part of this movement,

Jen Johnson Movement Director RepresentUs
