What Fair Maps America is working toward, and the year-by-year plan to get there.
Good maps make good government. We are building a coalition of citizens and lawmakers who want district lines everyone can trust.
After the 2030 Census, every U.S. House map is redrawn. Congress has clear authority to set common-sense standards for how it is done. We are building a base of informed voters across the country, so that when the moment comes, the support is already there.
Illinois votes on a fair maps amendment in 2028, two years ahead of the federal cycle. The campaign has its own database of Illinois supporters and its own field plan, and a win here shows the rest of the country what fair maps look like in practice.
We are not waiting until the maps are drawn to start organizing. Everything we do serves three commitments, on a timeline that runs from today through the next redistricting.
