We cannot out organize partisan and racial gerrymandering.
We cannot out organize rampant voter suppression laws.

As someone who has spent her career organizing in a state that is an unfortunate trailblazer in voter suppression laws and gerrymandering and which has suffered under the devastating impacts of both of those, I cannot possibly overstate how desperately we need that lifeline.

And how exhausting that we still have to put up such a fight.

One last thing:
We are being outpaced by an all out assault on democracy. It hits us from every angle, every day. Across issue area, we feel the creep of how the destruction of the vote impacts every facet of our lives - it’s been our reality for decades.

We see every day what it means to not have the full power of our vote. The stakes don’t get any higher for us.
