John,

The initial results of the 2020 census are in, and they depict an America that is increasingly diverse. That’s good news for Democrats if we have a redistricting process that fairly reflects these demographic shifts.

Unfortunately, outside of California and a few other states that have embraced independent redistricting, we know this process is rarely fair. Republicans have already signaled their plans to gerrymander their way back into the House majority in 2022.

We can’t let that happen, John. Without our Democratic majority, the American Rescue Plan, the For the People Act, and so much more would never have passed.

The GOP is increasingly out of touch with the values and priorities of most Americans. Democrats will beat them in a fair fight, and they know it. That’s why they’re turning to gerrymandering and voter suppression — to cheat their way to back power. We must make sure Democrats have the resources to head them off at the pass.

Will you join us in the fight against unfair gerrymandering by making a donation right away?

My campaign is identifying and supporting Democratic House candidates who are at risk from GOP gerrymandering. We’ll be working with our allies to challenge the GOP’s anti-democratic maneuvers in court and to overcome their dirty tricks in next year’s elections.

Even though the census showed major growth in areas with strong Democratic representation, Republicans control many state legislatures across the nation.

Just like they did after the 2010 census, we expect the GOP to try and overcome their dwindling overall numbers by redrawing district lines to divide and isolate Democratic voters. The party of Donald Trump is deeply unpopular, but they believe this is the ace up their sleeve that will allow them to win enough seats in the House to take back the majority in 2022.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court made it harder to challenge these tactics when it struck down the provision in the Voting Rights Act that required certain states to get federal approval for their district maps. We have our work cut out for us.

That’s why we must get ready, right now, to stand up for our rights.

With your donation today, we can prepare to fight back on every front — including through the courts — to make sure our sacred right to vote is protected and our voices are heard.

Thanks for your help,

Jared
