The Virginia effort to redraw our districts is a temporary step to level the playing field and preserve fair representation for Virginians after Republicans in states including Texas, North Carolina, and Florida either rigged their maps or are in the process of doing so. No one wants to be in this position, but we can't sit back while they lock in unchecked power.

Core points:

Level the Playing Field:

After what Republicans have done in Texas, North Carolina, and what's coming in Florida at Trump's direction, this is the only way to stop Trump and MAGA allies from rigging themselves into unchecked power.

Enact a Temporary Emergency Fix:

This is a short-term, emergency response to unprecedented national interference, and it sunsets after 2030, returning to Virginia's bipartisan redistricting process.

Let Virginians Decide

Despite lies you may have heard, midterm redistricting is about letting Virginians decide. Are we going to let Republicans in other states gain seats in Washington by cheating, or are we going to do something to restore fairness in upcoming elections? It's our choice, Virginians.

Work toward the Real Solution (National Reform):

Democrats support a nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering. Republicans have repeatedly blocked those reforms, forcing states like Virginia to take temporary action.

Vote!

Vote to allow the General Assembly to redraw districts before the upcoming election. The vote will take place April 21st, with early voting starting March 6th.

Imagine a bully is punching you in the face, and the moment you hit back, your sister or your brother yells at you for fighting.

Later, you find out that your sister or brother is sleeping with the bully.

They're not against fighting. They're against anyone fighting the bully with whom they're in love.

That's what Democrats in Virginia are getting from Republicans who claim to be against gerrymandering. Republicans aren't against gerrymandering. They're against Democrats fighting back when Republicans in other states gerrymander to take away our voting power. And it's all in service to the bully they love.

Gerrymandering in other states is an attack on us and we have to fight back. Republican gerrymandering takes away fair representation for all Americans. Even if more people want Democrats in Congress, Congress gets more Republicans.

Too many Republicans in Congress is more than unrepresentative and unfair. It dangerous. It's more Republican lap dogs to approve anything Donald Trump wants. It's more federal agents terrorizing citizens. More white-washing American history. Less funding for education. Less support for health care. Less accountability for those who discriminate. Less protection for people in dangerous work environments. Fewer decent jobs. More pollution. More stupid wars. More fucking lies.

We're being punched in the face by Republican gerrymandering. It's time to hit back. Vote Yes. Early voting has already started. Find out where and when you can vote, and do it. Vote YES!
