8 states left

NationBuilder John, We are at a critical crossroads: Since we started this campaign, 9 states have committed to making Vote by Mail available in upcoming primaries. That's over 33 million more Americans who won't have to risk their health to exercise their constitutional right t…

Our internet is in trouble

NationBuilder John, Unrig Roundtable is back, and we’re tackling digital warfare, how you can protect yourself and our democracy. Millions of Americans are stuck at home, glued to our screens. Fake news, deep fakes, and online psychological warfare threaten politics — and our per…

This can't happen again

NationBuilder John, Yesterday in Wisconsin, thousands of voters stood in line at crowded polling stations for up to 3 hours to vote during a global pandemic – and unless we act now, ten states will force voters in upcoming elections to put their health at risk. We're launching a…

Surprise guest

Live on Thursday: This won’t be boring

Progress

NationBuilder John, Huge news: Four states have now announced they will protect voters from risking their health in upcoming elections by offering vote at home. But voters in 13 states will still be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote. Now is the time to…

Urgent: How to protect voters from coronavirus

New bill could protect voters during coronavirus

Victory in Virginia

March 5th

NationBuilder Hi John, We only have four days left in our anti-gerrymandering campaign, so we need RepresentUs members across the country to help right now. An anti-gerrymandering amendment is moving through the House in Virginia, and if it passes it could have a national impact.…

Twitter as a force for good

NationBuilder John, We have nine days left to push our next anti-gerrymandering campaign to a vote – and we need everyone across the country to help. If the Virginia House of Delegates doesn’t pass the amendment by the March 7th deadline, we’ll be stuck with the corrupt status qu…

It's stalled in the State House

NationBuilder John, We have a critical update out of Virginia: The anti-gerrymandering amendment is stalled in the House where it could die. And if politicians don’t pass it by February 20th, we’ll have to wait 10 years to stop gerrymandering in Virginia. We can't let them get aw…

We don't do this often

NationBuilder John, The Senate just voted to acquit President Trump of both impeachment charges. RepresentUs is fiercely nonpartisan, and we don’t typically weigh in on these topical, polarizing matters because there are hundreds, if not thousands, of advocacy organizations doing…

Add your name to stop gerrymandering in VA

NationBuilder John, We have one last chance to stop gerrymandering before voting districts are redrawn – and an amendment in Virginia would do it. But politicians don't have to vote on it: they can ignore it until it's too late. The only reason politicians will act is if they are pu…

Virginia is next

NationBuilder John, This may be our last chance to stop gerrymandering before voting districts are redrawn in 2021. That means every single state matters — and today, we have a chance to end it in one of America’s worst-gerrymandered states: Virginia. Virginia lawmakers are consider…
