When Texas House Democrats took the extraordinary step of leaving their state to block a dangerous redistricting plan, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker didn’t hesitate — he stepped up to protect them. Governor Pritzker welcomed the lawmakers to Illinois and vowed to do everything in his power to support their courageous stand. He called their action a “righteous act of courage” and made it clear that the fight to defend voting rights and fair representation belongs to all of us — not just Texas. As Trump and Republican leaders attempt to rig the electoral map to silence millions of Black and Latino voters, Governor Pritzker has shown bold leadership in defending our democracy. His words and actions have sent a clear message: the right to vote, to be heard, and to have fair elections is worth fighting for — and worth protecting. Add your name to thank Governor JB Pritzker for standing with Texas Democrats, speaking out for voting rights, and proving that real leadership means defending democracy — no matter what.
