Dear MoveOn member,
Republicans are trying to rig the 2026 elections a year in advance. Donald Trump and Republicans are scared of Democrats showing up to the polls and voting them out of Congress next year. Now they're clinging to power by demanding red states redistrict their congressional maps in their favor in order to win in 2026.1
Republicans are trying to silence us. Their agenda isn't working, and now they're stripping health care from millions—but instead of switching course and passing legislation to support our communities, they're trying to take away our power so they don't lose in 2026.
Maryland has a unique advantage in fighting back against these attacks—with a Democratic trifecta in the state, Maryland lawmakers have the power to introduce their own maps to level the playing field and ensure voters have a fair chance in electing pro-democracy candidates next November.
Will you send a letter to Governor Moore and your state senator now?
It will take just a few minutes! Governor Moore and Maryland lawmakers have declared some openness to introducing new maps, but they haven't committed to action just yet.2 It's crucial that they hear from us and get the extra push to fight back against these attacks on our democracy. Trump is pressuring states such as Texas, Missouri, Indiana, and others to pass Republican-leaning maps to silence voters and secure Republican power before voters even have the chance to vote.3
If Republicans succeed with their plan, they could potentially add over a dozen Republican congressional districts, which could be enough to rig the 2026 midterms and have MAGA in power for years to come.4
The Trump administration has done nothing but bring chaos to our country, take away our rights, and make everyday living far too expensive. And now he's holding onto power wherever he can take it. With so much at stake, we can't let Republicans silence our voices.
Send a letter to Governor Moore and your state senator and to let them know that they have your support in redrawing Maryland's congressional maps!
Thanks for all you do.
