Are you “Wide Awake”?
That is — are you a member of our FMA Wide Awake Marching Club? We appropriate the name from the energetic youth clubs that marched for Abraham Lincoln in 1860. We encourage friends to sign up for light-duty, remote tasks. Take on any one of the three:
1. Quiz Your Members of Congress
Ask your Representative and Senators whether they support gerrymandering reform — then report what you learn to our “Keeping Score” database manager.
2. Become a Reporter for fma.vote
Adopt one of the 50 states and take responsibility for keeping our site up to date on redistricting activity there.
3. Become a “Town Crier”
Give talks about gerrymandering reform at Rotary, Lions, and other service clubs in your community and region. We will provide the talking points.
Wear it proud.
Take on any of these tasks and receive your own nifty “I’m Wide Awake” button — proudly produced by persons with developmental disabilities. Wear it to your coffee klatch and proclaim:
“I’m Wide Awake — for gerrymandering reform!”
Short on volunteer time? Consider a donation to Fair Maps America!
Make a contribution of $50 or more and receive your own handsome “I’m Wide Awake” button.
Become an Honorary Co-Chair.
Become an Honorary Co-Chair of Fair Maps America and receive this sparkling “Co-Chair” pin.
When people at your watering hole blurt out: “What the Hell are you co-chair of?” you can tell them how to receive their own pin, and help improve our democracy with fair maps.
