Dear Senator / Representative

I angry about the Supreme Court ruling and the standard it sets.

This decision effectively erases a key provision of the Voting Rights Act and opens the door for unchecked racism through redistricting across the country. The Supreme Court has determined that voters of color no longer have the right to a fairly drawn map—from school districts to congressional districts—and is willing to allow undemocratic, racist maps to determine our future representation.

Partisan gerrymandering IS racial gerrymandering. Packing, cracking, and otherwise undermining minority voting strength are the central tools used to achieve Republican political goals. It is how Texas Republicans reconfigured a state where less than 40 percent of its population is Anglo to achieve a congressional map where 70 – 80 percent of its districts will elect the Anglo candidate of choice over the choice of minority voters.

There can be no more business as usual.

I want every American to have a fair and equal vote.

I want you to fix this. I will do what I can in my community, but I need you lead loudly from the front. This racist effort to deny people equal representation must be reversed.

There are bills in Congress to do this. Grind Congress to a halt until every Americans has the right to fair representation.
