Last day of matching contributions! $ goes towards stopping Republican gerrymandering.

I have posted my match, in which we raised $665 for supporting democrats throughout redistricting in Texas! ($1330 after the match)

Thank you for all the support over the past couple of weeks! If you still want to give, I will match through midnight tonight!

I'm really excited about this coming decade for democrats, let's make sure they have the fair maps they need!

I personally find redistricting to be unique in that grassroots advocacy isn't easy as the topic can be complex. I think supporting lobbyists, attorneys, and organizers is effective as they often lead the drive to push maps into court. There are lots of outcomes achievable in state or federal courts that will greatly benefit Democrats and protect communities of interest without HR1!
