John -- Say you live in a state like North Carolina or Texas, where recent population growth is driven largely by an influx of people of color and Democrats. It's time for a once-in-a-decade reworking of district maps -- but instead of drawing maps to empower the communities that have driven the growth, Republicans draw the maps to give themselves more political power instead.
That's exactly what could happen if you don't fight back right now.

In Texas, people of color, who tend to vote for Democrats, make up 95% of the population growth recorded in the 2020 Census. NDRC President Kelly Burton plainly told Axios that “There’s simply no way for them to add two more GOP [House] seats in Texas without racially gerrymandering based on this census data.”
And North Carolina, which is gaining a House seat because more people of color -- who, again, tend to vote for Democrats -- have moved to the state, could actually lose Democratic representation if Republicans have their way.
Gerrymandering silences the voices of communities of color. It's a form of voter suppression. And we must END it.
It won't be easy to stop Republicans in states like North Carolina and Texas who want to manipulate the maps for their benefit. But we have to fight with everything we've got. Can you chip in to help us take on Republican power-stealers across the country?
