John,
While our movement has had many recent successes in the courts, Republicans have grabbed onto a new strategy: Asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn fair-map decisions.
It's what they did in Alabama, leading to the Supreme Court's decision that allowed a delay of the redrawing of gerrymandered maps until AFTER the 2022 election.
And in Georgia, a federal court relied on the SCOTUS decision to delay the redrawing of maps in that state as well.
These are two disappointing developments, but they're only one piece of the full picture. Will you pitch in to help us keep working to end Republican gerrymandering nationwide, no matter what it takes?
Republicans in Pennsylvania and North Carolina also asked SCOTUS to intervene in their states. Fortunately those requests were denied and the 2022 elections in these states will be held on the new, fair maps. But here’s why A.G. Holder said we can’t rest in our fight to protect democracy from power-hungry Republicans:
“This time they were stopped, but their cravenness has been put on display, and we will not rest on our heels in the fight to protect our democracy.”
The fight for fair redistricting across the country is far from over. We really need you to stick with us. Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to hang on to their manipulated maps across the country – will you help us match their effort?
