Celebrate California’s Bold Stand for Fair Representation

California lawmakers have taken a historic step to protect democracy and fight back against Trump’s partisan redistricting schemes. By passing the Election Rigging Response Act, the state legislature has cleared the way for voters to decide this fall whether to adopt new congressional maps — maps that could add up to five Democratic seats and serve as a direct counterweight to Texas Republicans’ attempt to rig the House in Trump’s favor.

Governor Gavin Newsom and Democratic leaders are making it clear: if Republicans insist on undermining fair elections with “Trump-mandered” maps, California will not sit back and let them tilt the balance of power in Congress. Instead, they’re putting the choice directly in the hands of the people.

This is a fight about more than maps. It’s about ensuring every community’s voice is heard, protecting representation for millions of Californians, and standing up against Trump’s attempt to silence voters of color and manipulate our democracy.
