Team,
I’m writing to you at a moment when one of our most cherished and fundamental rights — the right to vote — is under attack.
Right now, politicians in several states are trying to gerrymander their congressional maps to unfairly help their party hold onto power in the House of Representatives after the midterms. It’s a desperate, cynical move — and it’s not how democracy is supposed to work.
In our democracy, politicians shouldn’t get to pick their voters. The people should decide who represents them.
Since this power grab began, thousands of Americans like you have taken action to stop it. But despite this massive public outcry, extreme politicians in states like Florida and Kansas are doubling down, all in an effort to avoid accountability from voters.
Attorney General Eric Holder and I started this organization to build a fairer democracy — and that mission will be tested like never before in the coming months . Now is not the time to hesitate. Each of us needs to roll up our sleeves and fight for what we believe in. Please make a donation to support Redistricting Action’s work to organize in key states and help voters fight back.

Look, I’ve run my share of campaigns. I’ve won some, and I’ve lost some. But at the end of the day, I listened to the will of the voters. Because that’s how our democracy is supposed to work. And that shouldn’t be controversial.
Now some lawmakers are making excuses for why they’re choosing to redraw their maps right before a critical midterm election. But the truth is pretty straightforward: They know deep down that their policies aren’t popular so they’re trying to tilt the playing field in their favor.
Here’s the good news: Americans across this country just like you are saying enough is enough.
You’ve shown up at state legislatures. You’ve talked to your neighbors. You’ve reached out directly to lawmakers. You’ve volunteered, organized, and chipped in when you can because you understand that this is an existential threat to our representative democracy.
But right now, we’re facing the biggest challenges yet in our fight for fairness. If you care about ending this redistricting crisis and creating a level playing field in our politics, then we need your help. Make a donation to Redistricting Action today. [[link removed]]
Thank you for all you do for our democracy. It truly matters.
Barack Obama
