I’m really excited about Tuesday night -- we’ve teamed up with our friends at Onward Together to have a conversation about what comes next for fair maps. If you haven’t secured your ticket yet, you can register here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/aotl-tickets
This is a chance to get in the weeds a little and really dig into how this grassroots movement can keep fighting for fair maps and voting rights and learn about the work powered by your contributions. We asked folks to submit questions for Secretary Clinton and A.G. Holder -- and I can’t wait to hear what they say!
Take a look at the message Hillary Clinton sent below for a sneak peek at her thoughts. And don’t forget to get your ticket!

Friend -- We need to have a conversation about partisan gerrymandering and voting rights.
Our system is broken -- and gerrymandered statehouses are taking advantage of that to undermine our democracy.
Will you join me and A.G. Holder, along with our friends Ben Affleck and Tracee Ellis Ross, to discuss how we can go on offense for our democracy?
I believe ending partisan gerrymandering is one of the most important battles in the fight to preserve our democracy -- and essential to the work we’re doing to restore and expand voting rights.
We’re witnessing a pattern. There are politicians who want to stay in power at any cost. That cost is always at the expense of voters -- and in states like Texas and Georgia, it's indisputably at the expense of communities of color.
When these politicians think they will lose the support of their constituents, their instinct is to manipulate maps and obstruct voting -- rather than be relentless advocates for the things their community cares about.
This is a systemic problem. And it will not change unless people like us demand change and accountability.
Recently, I was talking with A.G. Holder and we realized we’ve been having similar conversations -- people keep asking us how they can take direct action to make our democracy stronger. And that’s why we’ve decided to gather activists from Onward Together and All On The Line to discuss how we can further build this movement.
I hope you’ll join us for that conversation. You can reserve your spot for that night, Tuesday, December 7, at this link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/aotl-tickets
