The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act again! This blow means coming for Black and Brown political power. We know the playbook: silence, suppress, dilute. Our answer must be louder than ever…organize, mobilize, and vote in record numbers
Rep. Wiley Nickel has introduced a bill, the FAIR MAPS Act, to combat partisan gerrymandering by establishing independent, non-partisan redistricting commissions in every state. I’d like you to support it.
Across the country, partisan gerrymandering has been used as a tool by politicians to manipulate electoral outcomes with almost surgical precision. This leads to hyper-partisanship, a lack of trust in government, and disenfranchised voters. In America today, politicians too often choose their voters instead of voters choosing their elected officials. It's troubling and anti-democratic.
Independent redistricting commissions, which the FAIR MAPS Act promotes, are a common-sense solution to gerrymandering that puts power in the hands of the people – where it belongs. When districts are drawn fairly, all voters – Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike – have a fair shot to make their voices heard.
For that reason, please co-sponsor and work to pass the FAIR MAPS Act. Thanks.

Leader Jeffries torches SCOTUS: You "right wing extremists on the Supreme Court" don’t get to pretend racism is over while gutting the Voting Rights Act in the same breath. This fight ain't over. They started it, but we will FINISH it.
