Friend -- Texas is going to be one of our most closely watched battleground states during this redistricting cycle. Texas Republicans just passed one of the worst voter suppression bills in the country -- in addition to the Supreme Court just allowing their hideous abortion ban to take effect. In the next few days many of those same Texas politicians are going to begin drawing the next decade's worth of maps to protect their own power!
Help us fight for fair maps in Texas and all over the country >>>
Texas is the only state to be gaining two U.S. House seats, due to significant population growth among communities of color. But will Texas' new districts reflect that growth, or will they give even more power to the GOP? It all depends on what we can get done in the next few months.
NPR reports:
| "Texas has a long history of violating the Voting Rights Act when it comes to redistricting. In fact, since the civil rights era law's passage, the state has violated it during every redistricting cycle." |
Friend, we have to expect that Texas Republicans will try every possible trick to manipulate the maps to their advantage. And we have to be ready to fight back -- in Texas and in other states across the country. It won't be easy, which is why we're asking you to help us hit our fundraising goals so we can execute our multi-pronged strategy in as many states as we can.
A.G. Holder asked for your help, and now we're asking, too. Please chip in now -- whatever you can, even if it's only a couple of bucks -- to help us fight for and WIN fair maps across the country!
