People For Member,
The 2021 redistricting process has officially begun, so we must act immediately to stop partisan politicians from drawing rigged, unfair maps. Right-wing politicians across the country have already been working hard this year to suppress the vote through legislative means, and we need to make sure they can’t use gerrymandering as yet another voter suppression tool.
This year, states will draw new electoral maps based on data from the 2020 Census – and these maps will shape our state legislatures and Congress for the next ten years. We cannot afford to let politicians draw deeply partisan and racially divisive districts that deprive voters of the chance to elect the best leaders for their communities.
Voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around. Any efforts by politicians to interfere with the process – by using data that wasn’t intended for redistricting or by drawing rigged maps that ignore the communities themselves – cannot be swept under the rug.
We demand fair and transparent redistricting for all 50 states that doesn’t put the needs of partisan politicians before the voices of communities, doesn’t substitute alternative data for 2020 Census data, and rejects any attempts to gerrymander our maps and silence voters. Because that is not how our democracy is supposed to work.
The district maps drawn this year will impact voters nationwide for the next decade. If we don’t act right away, power-hungry politicians will abuse their control of the process to create gerrymandered maps. We the People will not be excluded from the redistricting process or silenced by gerrymandering.
Thank you for taking action,
Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
