John,

Missouri lawmakers and officials are going to extreme lengths to silence their own constituents:

• In September, the state legislature passed an egregiously gerrymandered map as part of the wave of mid-decade map redraws pushed by anti-democracy extremists.
• When Missouri voters fought back, collecting 300,000 signatures to put the gerrymandered map to a vote in a referendum, officials rejected a full one-third of them.
• And now, the attorney for Missouri’s top election official admitted that the pro-democracy, anti-gerrymandering referendum language was written to “prejudice” voters against it.

But anti-democracy forces are not going to back down in Missouri, or anywhere else they think they can silence voters. 

That’s why Redistricting Action must be prepared with the resources needed to fight back and ensure every voter can be heard — in 2026 and far beyond. Rush in a donation so we can keep up our fight for fairness in states across the country.

Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of Missouri voters signed a petition to stop the gerrymandered map, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins declared that the map will still go into effect for the 2026 midterms.  

Make no mistake: These roadblocks in Missouri are not flukes. They are part of a coordinated effort to deprive voters of the power of direct democracy. 

We’ve got to ensure these attacks on our ability to make our voices heard don’t go unanswered. Fund the organizing work of Redistricting Action today.

Thank you for your support in this critical fight,

Brianna Shamsuddoha
