Want to make a difference in multiple high-impact races?

It’s hard to overstate how important some of these races are.

But we can also make a big impact at the state level, where we need to continue to defend voting rights and block GOP gerrymandering at every available opportunity — and that’s where the NDRC comes in. Right now, we’re investing in 17 battleground states, with a focus on races that are critical to securing the future of democracy. That means state legislative races, state supreme court races, governor’s races, secretary of state races, and others that will play a big role in defending the right to vote and stopping GOP gerrymandering. Truly, it’s hard to overstate how important some of these races are. If the GOP is allowed to completely take over the machinery of our elections while continuing to manipulate maps and surpress votes it could eventually be lights out for our democracy — and that’s something we just can’t sit back and let happen. That’s why your donation to the NDRC is so important, friend. We’re working as hard as we can to defend the right to vote and help elect Democracy Defenders across the country, but we need your help to keep it up.

We're Building On State-of-the-Art Mapping Capabilities In several states where litigation is pending – including North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and others – it's possible that some new maps will need to be drawn before the 2024 elections. So to get ready, we're investing in new technologies, data, and mapping innovations. [PITCH IN TO HELP US KEEP IT UP]( 2. We're Working to Improve Redistricting Reforms In 2018 and 2020, we helped pass redistricting reforms that were instrumental in securing fair maps in states like Colorado and Michigan. Moving forward, we plan to build on these successes to help achieve bold redistricting reforms in even more states. [PITCH IN TO SUPPORT OUR WORK]( 3. We're Targeting Elections Key to Redistricting All over the country, the GOP is investing in state and local races, including important state court elections. That means we need to prepare for the long term by electing pro-democracy leaders. The good news is our work in 2018 and 2020 made a big difference for Democrats running for state-level offices. In states like Pennsylvania, Kansas, and Wisconsin, Democratic governors ended up vetoing manipulated maps. And in 2022, we're targeting races in 17 states that will have a big impact on the future of redistricting.
