Zero competitive seats. Texas Republicans released a state Senate map this weekend that eliminated every competitive district -- by packing and cracking our cities and surrounding suburbs.
This proposed map once again proves that Texas Republicans have no interest in representing the people of the Lone Star State -- their only concern is maintaining power, even if it comes at the expense of our democracy.
The All On The Line movement is growing. But so are the threats to our democracy. Chip in a few dollars to help fund this fight for fair maps.

We’re fighting to make sure maps represent all people. The way these lines are drawn determines how the power is divvied up in Texas -- for a decade.
And historically, Texas Republicans cannot be trusted to draw fair lines. In every redistricting cycle since the VRA was passed in 1965, courts have found that Texas maps have disenfranchised communities of color -- that is generations of shutting people out and ushering in unpopular policies.
At first glance, these maps seem to be repeating history -- gerrymandered districts benefiting one party at the expense of voters.
We cannot sit back and let the politicians who passed the country’s most restrictive abortion ban and one of the most restrictive voter suppression bills manipulate the Texas state maps without recourse.
All On The Line Texas has worked tirelessly to inform thousands of Texans about how to make their voices heard as part of this process. Can I count on your support while Texas -- and states across the nation -- begin to directly hold map drawers accountable?
Be on the lookout for updates from AOTL this week -- we expect the Texas congressional map to drop any day now. And redistricting experts have named Texas as one of the four states to watch in Republicans’ “path to victory” to regain control of the U.S. House.
