Have you heard about the Texas Heroes, John? 

Texas politicians have spent months trying to jam a radical anti-voter bill through the state legislature, and the only thing stopping them is a group of heroic lawmakers who fled the state so the legislature couldn’t hold a vote on this unAmerican anti-voter bill.  

It’s incredibly inspiring. With less than four weeks until a crucial deadline to pass the For the People Act, we’re taking a page out of their playbook — doing everything we can to save democracy before it’s too late.

That means massive collective action — a national web of events to demand Senators pass the For the People Act. But if we don’t raise $50,000 by August 16th, we may have to cut back on our events and lose the momentum we’ve been building for months. Will you chip in $10 right now to help us ensure that we can hold as many actions as possible across the country?

August 16th is not some arbitrary deadline, John. It’s the last date the Senate can pass the For the People Act before states across America begin gerrymandering their voting maps for the next ten years. 

50% of Americans are at risk of living in rigged districts for the next decade. That would mean another generation of uncompetitive elections and politicians being able to do whatever they want because their reelection is virtually guaranteed. 

We all need to be inspired by the Texas Heroes and do whatever it takes to stop this existential threat to our democracy.

It’s time we follow their lead and kick it up a notch. More than 100 volunteers have expressed interest in holding a local event as part of our massive collective action. Will you chip in $10 right now to help us reach our goal and use grassroots energy to stop a nightmare mass gerrymandering scenario from plaguing our nation?

Thank you,

Jen Johnson Movement Director RepresentUs
