Hey friend -- I was looking at donation numbers today and saw something curious. Turns out we get a lot of donations between midnight and 6am. So I gotta ask... does gerrymandering keep you up at night?
To be honest, map manipulation is a living nightmare. District lines are drawn with precision to pack and crack neighborhoods -- all in the name of partisan political gain. When politicians pick their voters, they're attempting to silence our voices. We need to show them we refuse to be silenced.
Make your voice heard by pitching in a late-night donation to All On The Line.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.
People like you moved mountains to build a more fair and just system. But there's still
so much work to do. And if map manipulators get their way, they will spend the next decade dismantling progress instead of building on it.
In fact, map manipulators were so effective in that last round of redistricting, they've been able to net an additional 19 seats in the U.S. House in each election -- despite not always winning a majority of the votes.
That's why I wanted to email you before I called it a night. I joined the All On The Line team because I've seen firsthand how a strong grassroots movement can make a difference. Whether it was passing the ACA, gaining support for marriage equality, or making strides with environmental protections -- we made progress because we demanded it. And I can't stand the idea of another decade of map manipulators rigging elections in their favor and dismantling the progress we've fought so hard for.
If you believe the candidate who wins the most votes should also win the election, donate $5 to the fight to end gerrymandering. And hopefully, both you and I can sleep well tonight.
