End the rigged lines
Push for independent, transparent redistricting so districts reflect real communities—not party math.
Fair Maps America is building a coalition of informed citizens—not a random email list—to end gerrymandering and win fair maps in the 2028 Illinois and 2030 federal redistricting cycles.
Our 2030 goals
Gerrymandering lets politicians draw districts that lock in their own power—silencing communities and making elections a foregone conclusion. We’re a nonpartisan coalition fixing that, one informed citizen at a time.
Push for independent, transparent redistricting so districts reflect real communities—not party math.
Not a random email list. A real, opt-in database of people who understand the issue and show up to vote for reform.
Partner with the orgs already doing this work so we add up to something bigger than any of us alone.
We’re building two opt-in citizen databases on parallel timelines—because the people of Illinois face a decision before the nation does.
After the 2030 Census, every U.S. House map gets redrawn. We’re assembling a national coalition of informed voters now so that—when the lines are drawn—there are more people who care, and who vote for reform, than ever before.
Illinois faces its own redistricting decision in 2028—before the federal cycle. That means its own dedicated database of Illinoisans, its own field plan, and a chance to prove fair maps win at home first.
We’re not waiting until the maps are drawn to start organizing. Here’s the year-by-year path from today to a fair-map win.
Launch Fair Maps America, sign our founding coalition partners, ship both newsletters, and welcome our first wave of informed citizens.
Grow the database, recruit volunteer district captains, host town halls, and begin regular lawmaker briefings.
Mobilize the Illinois database for the 2028 redistricting decision and expand the model to priority states.
Voter-education sprints, candidate questionnaires, and reform toolkits ready for legislators and the public.
The Census triggers the federal map cycle. We turn out a bigger, more informed pro-reform electorate than ever before.
Transparent, community-based districts—and a permanent civic infrastructure that outlasts any single cycle.
One newsletter helps busy lawmakers skim the issue in 90 seconds. The other keeps the public engaged, informed, and ready to act.
A tight, nonpartisan, skim-in-90-seconds memo: where reform stands, what’s moving, and the facts behind it.
