LDF has been on the frontlines to defend all voters’ right to fair representation at every level of government. Discriminatory redistricting maps are a catalyst for oppressive legislation that targets our most vulnerable and historically abused communities. However, we know that when diverse communities are fairly represented, quality of life improves for all. Achieving equal representation and being able to cast equal and effective votes depends in part on redistricting maps that are drawn fairly to reflect and respect our communities.
Here, we’ve compiled a state-by-state look at our work to fight for fair maps and fair representation. Since the redistricting process kicked off in 2021, LDF has sent letters, submitted proposed maps, and filed lawsuits challenging discriminatory redistricting plans in key states including Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Georgia.
