Demand Fair and Transparent Redistricting Processes in All 50 States

From Common Cause (http://www.commoncause.org):

2020 Census data was released recently — which means that states will soon begin drawing their new electoral maps.

How these districts are drawn will impact voters nationwide for the next decade. That’s why we must go all out — right here and now — to stop partisan politicians from drawing rigged, unfair maps that silence voters.

Sign the Petition at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sign-the-petition-no-gerrymandering-in-2021: Demand fair and transparent redistricting processes in all 50 states — that don’t put the needs of politicians before the voices of our communities >>

ADD MY NAME

If we don’t speak out now, some power-hungry politicians will abuse their control of the redistricting process to draw gerrymandered maps — resorting to despicable tactics like “packing and cracking” to limit the political influence of Black and Brown voters and protect incumbents from competition.

That’s not how our democracy is supposed to work. Voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

And any efforts by politicians to interfere with the process — by using data that was not intended for redistricting or drawing rigged maps that ignore communities’ voices — can’t be swept under the rug.

That’s why we are flipping the script this year. We’re demanding that communities, not politicians, are put at the center of the process.

Add your name: Don’t let politicians draw partisan and racially divisive districts that deprive voters of the chance to elect someone who shares their lived experiences.

Whether your state’s districts are drawn by the legislature or by an independent commission — mapmakers need to hear loud and clear that We the People will not be excluded from the redistricting process or silenced by gerrymandering.
