Friend --

A lot of attention is already being paid to the 2020 presidential primary campaign, and that makes sense -- it's an important election with enormous consequences. Who we nominate is absolutely important, but this is also true:

If we don't fight for equal voting rights and fair districts before 2021's once-in-a-decade redistricting 
process, we won't make the progress our democracy so badly needs ... no matter who is in the
 White House.

That's why, as far as I'm concerned, three of the biggest 2020 headlines of the past few weeks had nothing
to do with presidential politics:


I'll be the first to admit: These aren't the flashiest news stories.

But progress like this is how we'll fix our democracy, friend. In New Mexico, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed legislation that means more voters will be able to cast their ballots. In Nevada, thanks to Gov. Steve Sisolak, the
state is funding an effort to create a fair count in the 2020 Census. And in Seattle, Washington, thanks to a new
fund, we'll see a more accurate, meaningful count -- one that will determine the distribution of federal resources
 and representation for the next decade.

That's how we get closer to a system in which every vote counts as it should -- one in which the next president
has a House of Representatives and state legislatures that are not pulled to the extremes by gerrymandering.

We need more states to deliver this kind of progress, and All On The Line is working to do just that. 
Say you'll do everything possible to make sure the next president isn't hobbled by a gerrymandered
 House of Representatives.

It's the only way we'll get things done. For two terms, I saw representatives from gerrymandered districts obstruct President Obama's agenda and common-sense policies. And that's what will happen -- again -- if we don't get
to work. A gerrymandered Congress will interfere with progress on making health care more accessible and
affordable, combating climate change, reducing gun violence, protecting reproductive rights, advancing criminal
 justice reform, and more.

That's why the news out of Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington is so crucial. And it's why we need to make
sure more states deliver the same progress.
