"The political system is rigged. The fight to fix it is now."

"We’re feeling it too. That feeling that our political system is unfair, and our votes don’t count the way they should. The gerrymandering of congressional and legislative districts locks in a Republican majority and locks out the voters. We have a plan to make the system fair and get democracy working again—and we need your help to do it."...

..."During the last redistricting process in 2011, Republicans had trifecta control in 19 states which gave them complete power over the drawing of 213 congressional districts. The NDRC is committed to changing that and making sure Democrats have a seat at the table in the 2021 redistricting process.

This is a critical election year for redistricting because it is the first cycle where the officials elected will serve during the redistricting process in 2021. NDRC is targeting 12 states during the 2018 election cycle, including 9 gubernatorial races, 20 legislative chambers, 2 ballot initiatives, and 2 down-ballot races. There are 7 additional states on our Watch List."...
