In this latest power grab, Trump is attacking our votes and the constitutional power of states to protect them. This is not democracy. cnn.com/2026/06/10/politics/…

The Voting Rights Act is gutted.
Now, every rule, every map, every decision about who gets to vote and whether their vote counts is 100% up to who holds power in your state legislature.

Today’s decision means that the power we build in states this November will have an even bigger impact on who draws the maps, who gets to vote, and whether their votes count in 2028 and beyond. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Political violence is unacceptable in a healthy democracy — as Americans, we settle our disagreements at the ballot box. We condemn the attempt on President Trump's life last night.

VA voters just rejected Trump's attempt to cement power through mid-decade redistricting. This is a big win for democracy — made possible by the governing power we helped build for state lawmakers who used it to protect voters from Trump's map rigging.

Trump signed an executive order restricting mail-in voting. It's unconstitutional. It will go to court. It is another tactic in Trump’s strategy to steal a congressional majority before the midterm elections. Here’s what the headlines won’t tell you. (1/7) democracydocket.com/news-ale…

As Trump attempts to make the mid-terms our last competitive election, we can't leave any power on the table. The state lawmakers we elect this year will control how elections run—and in most states, they'll be the same lawmakers to certify the presidential results in '28. (6/7)

The forces that are trying to win elections before anyone votes don’t have complete control. Yet. We can keep it that way by focusing on the states. That’s the answer today. And tomorrow. And in November.
Are you with us? (7/7)
