In 2019, with its dangerous decision in Rucho v. Common Cause, the Supreme Court gave politicians a green light to rig electoral districts in their favor -- by refusing to take a stand against partisan gerrymandering.

Five justices gave the high court’s approval to blatant, extreme, and explicit partisan gerrymandering -- granting politicians unfettered permission to rig districts to their liking.

But unlike the Court, We the People won’t sit idly by while power-hungry politicians deprive us of our right to fair representation. We have to take this fight to the states -- and push for strong, voter-focused redistricting reforms.

Reforms like independent redistricting commissions, which take the power to draw electoral maps AWAY from politicians and give it to the people. These commissions are already working to create fair, impartial maps in states like California, Arizona, and Montana -- and now more than ever, it’s time to take them nationwide.

The Court’s decision was a setback for Fair Maps -- but not an insurmountable one. We know our democracy works best when the American people have the power -- not self-interested politicians -- and when every voter can make themselves heard.

So we’ll fight state-by-state until not one voter is silenced by gerrymandering. Right now, tell your state lawmakers to pass strong, comprehensive redistricting reform.
