NEW: We broke down the threat of gerrymandering in all 50 states.
The bad news? 35 states (!) are at an extreme or high risk of gerrymandering - & district lines will be redrawn later this year. 🚨
We must stop federal gerrymandering by passing the #ForthePeopleAct.
Join activists across the nation to take part in the John Lewis Mobilization Town Hall to bring awareness to the John Lewis Voting Rights Day of Action which aims to protect and preserve democracy. Join the event on April 14th at 7 pm ET at this link: https://t.co/vXrZJHmMVR
Some of our alarming findings:
🚨35 states are at an extreme or high risk for gerrymandering
🚨Only a handful of states currently prevent politicians from rigging their districts
🚨If we don’t change this now, voters in 70% of states will live with the threat of rigged maps
The #Census results are nearly here—and politicians are preparing to redraw voting maps so they can pick their voters, instead of the other way around.
This blatant manipulation is called gerrymandering, and we need the #ForThePeopleAct to make it illegal before it’s too late.
