Governor DeSantis and other state leaders are discussing mid-cycle redistricting to change Florida\u2019s voting maps before the midterm election next year. This isn\u2019t just unfair, it\u2019s cheating right in our faces. The Florida Constitution makes it illegal to draw maps to favor a political party.<\/p>
We need to tell our representatives in the Florida Legislature loud and clear: Don\u2019t cheat. Don\u2019t break the law. Don\u2019t redraw the maps in the middle of the decade.<\/strong><\/p> Call your representatives at their District offices! <\/strong>Find the phone number here<\/strong><\/a>, and log your call.<\/strong><\/p> Here\u2019s an idea of what you can say:<\/p> \u201cMy name is [Insert Your Name] and I am a constituent from [Insert Your Town]. I am urging you to oppose any attempt to redraw Florida\u2019s legislative or congressional maps before the 2030 Census. Florida law is clear: gerrymandering for political purposes is illegal and undermines fair representation. <\/em><\/p> Redrawing our maps mid-decade would waste taxpayer dollars and destabilize our elections. Rigging the maps silences the voices of everyday Floridians and prioritizes politicians\u2019 power over the people you serve.<\/em><\/p> Please reject any mid-decade redistricting scheme and instead focus your time and our taxpayer money on things affecting our daily lives, like the skyrocketing cost of groceries, insurance, and utilities.\u201d<\/em><\/p> Want to make an even bigger impact?
