John -- The foundation of majority rule and representative democracy may soon be over.
A new study revealed that conservatives could gain up to 13 seats in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas -- four of our target states -- solely by gerrymandering the maps after the Census Bureau releases redistricting data -- which is imminent.
Obstructionists like Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson have already admitted that this is the plan to take back power: “We have redistricting coming up, and the Republicans control most of that process in most of the states around the country. That alone should get us the majority back."
All On The Line is investing in these states -- and in ones all across the country -- to ensure plans to manipulate maps like Ronny Jackson’s fail. But we need your help to get it done.

There’s no way around this hard truth: If map manipulators gerrymander enough districts this redistricting cycle, anti-democracy legislators will hold a majority in the House after the next election. That means district distorters will have the opportunity to codify their unpopular policies into law and roll back progress on the issues we all care about.
Election expert Ari Berman said: “A party that took power through anti-democratic means could then dramatically escalate its effort to subvert American democracy.” But the story of democracy doesn’t have to end this way.
The Census Bureau has yet to release its data -- and the next sets of maps are not yet finalized. We still have time to shape our democracy.
If you make a donation right now, it will go toward helping us end gerrymandering this redistricting cycle and ensuring voters can elect leaders who represent them. Will you pitch in to fund our fight?
