Stop the Steal of House Districts

Force Multiplier is recommending support for Fair Fight Action which is channeling the rage unleashed by the SCOTUS ruling on the Voting Rights Act with a Democracy Summer to register and mobilize Black voters across the South.

As soon as the VRA decision was handed down, southern states rushed to re-district, even while primary voting was underway, in order to eliminate Black-held House seats. A seat each was lost in Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama within weeks of the court ruling. 

Fair Fight Action anticipated the VRA ruling and its aftermath and is leading the fight, with partners, to stop this theft  of House districts. In South Carolina an attempt to redistrict away Representative Clyburn’s seat was stopped. Alabama considered attacking a second Black-held seat but was stopped. 

Most recently, Fair Fight Action organized opposition to thwart  the Georgia governor and legislature’s plans to redistrict. They organized advocates and called on major Georgia-based corporations - including Coca-Cola, UPS, Delta Airlines and Home Depot - to use their significant sway to stymie it. It worked! The special session called for this purpose has closed with no redistricting undertaken. Now Fair Fight is  channeling that momentum by expanding Democracy Summer across the South.

Preventing  the loss of a House seat through redistricting has the same impact as flipping a battleground seat. They both lead to our goal of a Democratic House majority. 

Force Multiplier is proud to support Fair Fight Action.
