National Democratic Redistricting Committee

The story of the NDRC, as told on Twitter:

Five years ago, @EricHolder did something that had never been done before -- he launched a comprehensive strategy on redistricting. This meant starting early and fighting for fair maps on multiple fronts: the process, the people, and the courts. It worked. We helped shift the balance of power away from the dominant control of maps Republicans had in 2011. By helping elect Dems at the local level and supporting redistricting reforms like commissions, we decreased Republican control on the process by more than 20%. (See: OH, MI, PA, WI, VA). We raised awareness about gerrymandering and got the public involved. This redistricting process has seen the highest levels of engagement EVER. People are demanding fair maps and fighting hard for them. Even GOP legislatures are feeling pressure. (see: NE, KS, MO, NH). Fighting for fair maps is like everything in democracy - it's hard, purposeful, and requires the long game. @EricHolder has been leading these types of fights his entire career. And the awesome teams at @DemRedistrict, and our affiliates @allontheline & @RedistrictFdn, work hard at it every day.

That’s what we’ve been up to – and it’s working! But our task is far from finished.
