Surprise, surprise: Trump has a new plan [[link removed]] to preserve white electoral power, and it comes at the expense of #PeopleLikeUs. His goal? Exclude millions of people of color from their basic right of political representation by redrawing state legislative districts to exclude 55% of Latinos, 45% of Asian Americans, and 30% of African Americans from being counted as constituents—compared to 21% of white people. #PeopleLikeUs won’t stand for this or any other attack on our democracy.
