[ [link removed] ]Tell the Senate: Stop Partisan Gerrymandering! Sign today >>

New York Times: The Census Bureau [released] data on Thursday, kicking off
a huge fight over political redistricting, with control of Congress
potentially hanging in the balance.

People For Member,

Yesterday, the U.S. Census Bureau released critical district-level data
and set off what will be the most consequential redistricting battle of
our generation. Control of the House of Representatives hangs in the
balance with the slim majority Democrats currently hold, and partisan
gerrymandering by right-wing state lawmakers could alter the way our
government works for the rest of our lifetimes.

The House has already taken vital action to stop partisan gerrymandering
with its passage of the For the People Act. Now the Senate needs to do the
same and rein in state legislatures across the country eager to draw
districts that subvert democracy.

[ [link removed] ]If you agree that voters should choose our representatives and not the
other way around, then please add your name right now to demand that the
Senate pass urgently needed restrictions on extreme partisan
gerrymandering. >>

Voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

The For the People Act (S. 1) includes robust provisions designed to
eliminate all partisan gerrymandering by both laying out easily applied
rules for district maps and providing protections for communities of
color. In order to ensure that our district maps are drawn fairly in a way
that allows communities to choose their leaders, and with enough time for
any changes to be implemented before the 2022 midterms, it is critical
that this bill is passed without delay.

In addition to the voter suppression laws you've heard so much about this
year in states like Georgia and Arizona, gerrymandering voting districts
is one more tool the Far Right plans to use to steal the next election. 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.

[ [link removed] ]Sign now to urge the Senate to stop partisan gerrymandering by passing
the redistricting provisions in the For the People Act. >>

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 all that you do.

Ben Jealous, President
