Your Action Toolkit
Your guide to getting involved. Because democracy isn’t a spectator sport.
2025’s elections will shape America’s future at this critical juncture. Whether you’re rallying neighbors or writing postcards, your effort helps elect leaders who care about us and their duty to the constitution.
WHY TAKE ACTION?
Right now, our democracy is under unprecedented threat, not just from extremists and big-money donors, but from something far more insidious: apathy. The truth is, elections aren’t won by passion alone; they’re won by showing up. Every seat lost, every harmful law passed, and every right eroded happens because people assumed someone else would fight for them.
You don’t need to quit your job or devote every weekend to make a difference. One hour a month writing postcards, five minutes a day sharing voter info online, or a single conversation with a disillusioned neighbor can help swing an election. Movements are built on millions of small acts by ordinary people.
Phone calls, postcards, even just amplifying key info on social media all adds up. The only wrong move is sitting this out.

Redistricting 101
-
Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of voting districts — like those for Congress, state legislatures, or city councils. Districts usually change every ten years after the Census to reflect population shifts. The way those lines are drawn determines who represents you, which communities stay together, and ultimately how much political power your community has.
-
Fair maps keep communities intact, ensure equal population in each district, and give every voter an equal voice. They reflect real neighborhoods, not political games.
Gerrymandering is when politicians manipulate district lines to give themselves or their party an unfair advantage. This often means splitting up communities to weaken their influence or packing them into one district to reduce their power elsewhere.
-
Redistricting is supposed to happen just once a decade after the Census. But in many states, politicians try to redraw maps more often, whenever they fear losing power. Right now, legislators across the country are pushing new maps to entrench partisan control, silence critics, and make elections less competitive. Stopping these power grabs is urgent, because once unfair maps are locked in, they often stay in place for years.
-
Unfair maps hurt all voters by reducing real competition and accountability. But the impact falls hardest on:
Communities of color whose voting strength is diluted by splitting them across districts.
Working families whose neighborhoods are carved up to reduce their influence.
Young voters whose growing political power is blunted by maps designed to favor older, more conservative electorates.
When politicians pick their voters instead of voters picking their representatives, it’s everyday people — not those in power — who lose their voice.
