Democratic governors in states like California and Maryland are fighting back with their own redrawn maps. If the MAGA Supreme Court justices side with Louisiana Republicans, they’ll dilute the political power of Black and Hispanic voters and hand Republicans the chance to draw themselves 19 new House seats. If the Supreme Court won’t stand up for our rights, Congress must instead. Rep. John Larson and Sen. Alex Padilla have introduced the Redistricting Reform Act, which would ban mid-decade redistricting efforts and require states to establish independent redistricting commissions. Tell your member of Congress to end partisan, race-based gerrymandering and protect the right to vote for Black and Hispanic voters. Demand Congress protect voting rights and pass the Redistricting Reform Act.
