New gerrymandering strategies. Map manipulating tactics. Surprise redistricting schemes.

If the past few months (really, the past decade) are any indicator, conservative politicians are sure to stretch our imagination of what is possible when it comes to defacing our democracy.

But President Obama recently reminded us that we can push the envelope too. He said, “If we can achieve fair maps, the bounds of what is possible will fundamentally change.”

That's why we do this work, John.

My team set an end-of-month goal of raising $25,000 by Saturday at midnight to help ensure we have a fair redistricting process after the Census Bureau releases the redistricting data.

Will you make a donation and become a Data Drop Donor to help us prepare for this pivotal moment in the redistricting process?

During the last round of redistricting, I remember the level of undemocratic behavior they engaged in. Map manipulators drew lines that favored their party without any transparency, oversight, or input from the people they’re supposed to represent. They even rented hotel rooms to ensure they could do their work in secret.

I refuse to let that happen again. That’s why I need your help. After the Census Bureau drops the final batch of redistricting data in a couple of weeks, I know we’ll see an uptick in plans to rig the next decade of maps.

Can I count on you to make a one-time contribution of $20 right now? We only have two days to reach our deadline of raising $25,000 by Saturday at midnight.
