Trump told Texas Republicans to gerrymander the state to add congressional seats to the map. It’s a power grab pure and simple.
Texas is a test case and just the beginning. Trump and his enablers are deliberately working to steal the 2026 election (and beyond) by rigging the electoral maps in their favor well into the future.
This is disenfranchisement for the 21st century. Instead of poll taxes, literacy tests, and discriminatory eligibility requirements, they are going to manipulate districts to ensure that voters of color, women, young voters, LGBTQ+ people, and working class people’s voting power is diluted — because they know they do not have the support to win outright.
So, Republicans in Texas are attempting to redraw the maps to pick up five additional seats, maintain control of the House, and give them a roadmap to keep a stranglehold on power for years to come.
But we aren’t going to sit back and watch it happen.
Our friends at Texas for All have set up a National Day of Action for THIS SATURDAY,
A tiny problem – Indivisible N AZ’s leadership team is on a vacation break. A big solution – one of our volunteers has stepped up to host a protest on Saturday from 4pm to 6pm at Flagstaff City Hall.
This is a rapid response. It won’t have all of the bells and whistles we try to incorporate in our big protests. But it is an opportunity to show up in support of courage.
Our volunteer has registered the event at https://www.fightthetrumptakeover.com/.
Hopefully it will show up on the map soon and you’ll find details there. But event if it doesn’t get posted there, it’s on. So please show up for Texas. Show up for democracy.
