| Lewis, thanks to the generous support of our grassroots team the NDRC has won some incredible victories.
But the fight to achieve fair maps isn't over. In fact, it's only just beginning – and, as we enter the next frontier, we'll need your support more than ever. Will you commit to powering the NDRC's work by making your first contribution* today? Here's a sneak peek at what we have planned for the next phase of our work: 1. Build Upon State-of-the-Art Mapping Capabilities
In several states – including North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and others where litigation is pending – it's possible that new maps will need to be drawn before the 2024 elections. To prepare, we're investing in new technologies, data, and mapping innovations. | | | 2. Continue Supporting Voters in Litigation
Our affiliates are still supporting voters in lawsuits to secure fair maps ahead of the 2022 midterms. And, in states like Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, and Texas, voters are pursuing litigation to achieve fair maps before the 2024 elections. Here at NDRC, we need to continue to be agile about adjusting our strategy to account for these legal challenges.
We're also preparing for additional legal threats from Republicans, including the dangerous independent state legislature theory that suggests state lawmakers should have unprecedented and unchecked power over maps and elections. | | | 3. Improve Redistricting Reforms
In 2018 and 2020, we worked to help pass redistricting reforms that were instrumental in securing fair maps in states like Colorado and Michigan. Moving forward, we plan to build on the lessons we learned from these victories to achieve reforms in even more states. | | | 4. Target Elections Important to Redistricting
Our work in 2018 and 2020 to help elect Democrats running for state-level offices made a big difference. In states like Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Wisconsin, Democratic governors vetoed gerrymandered maps.
And now, Republicans are ramping up their efforts to target state court elections in an effort to install judges they believe will rubber stamp their gerrymandering schemes. That means we need to prepare for the long-term by electing pro-democracy leaders. | | | As you can see, we have a lot of work ahead of us. But, with the support of this grassroots movement, I know we can get it done.
If you're ready to do your part to secure fair maps, then I hope you'll make your first contribution now to power the NDRC's efforts.
Thank you!
– Ben
