Applaud CA’s Stand Against Trump’s Redistricting Power Grab

California lawmakers have just introduced landmark legislation that puts power back where it belongs — in the hands of the voters. The “Election Rigging Response Act” would allow Californians to decide directly whether to redraw the state’s congressional map as a counter to Texas Republicans’ Trump-backed scheme to rig elections in their favor.

If passed, the measure will set a November 4 special election to approve a new map that adds five Democratic seats — a firewall against Trump’s attempt to silence communities of color and manipulate Congress. Unlike the GOP’s rushed, backroom redistricting in Texas, California’s approach is transparent and democratic: the people themselves get to choose.

This is more than just a map — it’s a line in the sand. California is showing that when Trump tries to undermine democracy, we fight back with more democracy.

Add your name to applaud California’s bold plan to protect fair representation, stop Trump’s rigged maps, and put voters — not politicians — in charge of our future!
