John, despite the fact that most voters in most states support reproductive freedom, more than half of all states have either already banned abortion or are poised to severely limit abortion access:
"[A] majority of the public in about 40 states supports legal abortion rights. … [But] analysis of polling data suggests that more Americans will live under an abortion policy that is out of step with their preferences, with consequences for democratic representation.”
– The Washington Post |
You might be wondering how lawmakers in so many states can get away with passing draconian laws most of their constituents don’t want. Unfortunately, the answer is simple: Gerrymandering.
At the NDRC, we’re working to return power to voters by fighting for fair maps and electing leaders who will defend democracy. Will you pitch in now to support our work to end GOP gerrymandering?

Because of gerrymandering, Republicans in swing states have been able to win a majority of state legislative seats while earning only a minority of votes. This gives the GOP power to pass far-right legislation while shielding them from consequences at the ballot box.
That’s why the NDRC is fighting back to defend our democracy. We’ve targeted races in 17 states across the country that will have an impact on the future of fair maps. If we can win these races, we can achieve a future where a majority of voters once again have the power to shape policy in their states – including policy on abortion rights.
There are dozens of races and so much other work where we need to make investments, which means we’ll need a lot of resources. Can the NDRC count on your support to help power all our critical work?
Thank you so much,
Team NDRC
