Applaud California’s Bold Plan to Stop Trump’s Gerrymander

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced a historic move to protect our democracy and flip the U.S. House away from Trump’s control — by redrawing congressional maps to counter the GOP’s extreme power grab in Texas.

As Texas Republicans push rigged maps that could hand them up to five new House seats, California is preparing to cut several GOP-held districts — a bold, strategic step to ensure fairer representation and prevent Trump from cementing his grip on Congress.

Newsom’s plan, backed by legislative leaders, could send a powerful message: if Republicans try to tilt the playing field, Democrats will fight back just as hard to restore balance and safeguard voters’ voices. With control of the House at stake, this is a moment of decisive action in defense of free and fair elections.

Add your name to applaud Governor Newsom’s commitment to fair maps, democracy, and defeating Trump’s congressional power grab!
