John,

I’ll be frank with you: Our work to fight for fair maps has made historic progress, though it’s nowhere near complete.

Looking around the country, it’s clear that far too many states remain heavily gerrymandered — including Texas, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Unlike the times when states redrew maps once a decade, we’re living in an era of perpetual redistricting, with anti-democracy leaders trying to undermine voters’ power and distort maps for partisan gain.

Take a look at what just happened in Alabama. A federal court ruled that Black Alabamians will continue to vote under a fair, representative congressional map. But this was no easy fight, and did not happen overnight.

This followed YEARS of relentless efforts by anti-democracy lawmakers to dilute the power of Black voters, despite them making up 27% of the voting age population. After Alabama lawmakers enacted a congressional map that allowed Black Alabamians the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choice in only one district, our affiliate, the National Redistricting Foundation, challenged the map, which resulted in the US Supreme Court striking the map down for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in Allen v. Milligan. That victory led directly to today’s fairer, more representative map.

Our team at All On The Line will always fight back against anti-democracy forces wherever they try to undermine voters’ power. Can you make a contribution today to help fight gerrymandering and fund this grassroots work? → [link removed]

Right now, there’s another Supreme Court case under consideration out of Louisiana that we all need to pay close attention to.

Here are the facts:

→ In 2022, the National Redistricting Foundation and other partners brought a case in the state of Louisiana seeking two Black opportunity congressional districts where Black voters could elect the candidates of their choice — a right guaranteed by the Voting Rights Act and affirmed in the court’s Allen v. Milligan ruling.

→ At that time, only one of six districts was designed this way — despite the fact that Black residents make up nearly one-third of Louisiana’s population.

→ After the map was redrawn to be in compliance with the Voting Rights Act, inclusive of the two Black opportunity districts, a new lawsuit was filed by a group of self-proclaimed “non-African American voters” claiming that the updated map takes race into consideration too heavily.

In the weeks ahead, the Supreme Court will decide whether the new map, drawn specifically to comply with the Voting Rights Act, will remain. The outcome of this case could fundamentally reshape how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is applied across the country.

If the Court rules against the fair map, it could set a dangerous precedent that severely limits voters’ power — specifically the voting power of Black people and other communities of color to challenge map manipulation.

All On The Line is actively fighting to defend fair maps, but we can’t do it alone. Make a contribution today, and let’s do everything we can to fight for our democracy. → [link removed]
