John,

In this moment of constant breaking news and political turbulence, it could be easy to feel overwhelmed or even defeated – but we can’t lose sight of the meaningful progress we've made in the first few months of this year, in the face of all that chaos. 

The recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race stands as a powerful example of what we can accomplish when we work together. When Republicans — and the billionaires they are beholden to — tried to buy an extreme right-wing majority on Wisconsin’s highest court to act as a “support network” for Donald Trump, Wisconsinites said hell no. 

Also significant are the Democracy Defender victories in special elections across Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Virginia. These wins secured Democratic or shared control of key state legislative chambers — outcomes that directly strengthen our ability to fight for fair maps.

While national politics are capturing headlines, the fight for our democracy is ongoing in states across this country. 

Each judicial seat, state legislative chamber, and governor's mansion we win becomes a xxxxxx against anti-democracy efforts like partisan gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Here at the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, we approach this work with both precision and principle. 

As a part of our comprehensive 10 Year Plan, we strategically identify which races are the most important opportunities to most effectively counter gerrymandering and protect our basic freedoms. We endorse pro-democracy candidates. And with your continued support, we provide these Democracy Defenders with the resources they need to win.

But critically, the strategy to end gerrymandering also extends beyond electoral politics. With your support, the fair maps movement is developing sophisticated mapping capabilities, building grassroots coalitions, educating the public about redistricting's impact on their communities, holding legislators accountable to their voters, and advancing redistricting reforms at every level of government.

There is no one I’d rather be standing next to in this effort, and I ask you to power more progress in this fight by making a gift of $30 or more to the NDRC today.

Thank you, 

Eric H. Holder, Jr.
82nd Attorney General of the United States
