Blue States: The Asks

Here’s what you should demand now, depending on where you live:

🔥 Immediate priority trifectas for responsive redistricting (CA, IL) — Call and email your governor and demand he commit to responsive redistricting prep now. That means making a public commitment, reviewing and updating state laws if needed, coordinating with legislative leaders, and being ready to act in a special session if Republicans gerrymander first. Get the call script here or use our email template here.

📅 Long-term priority (NY) — Call and email Governor Hochul urging her to start the multi-step process now for responsive redistricting. Even if the earliest new maps could be in place is 2028, making the public commitment and beginning the process sends a powerful signal that New York will not unilaterally disarm. Get the call script here or use our email template here.

⚠️ Medium-impact responsive redistricting states (CO, WA, OR, MD) — Call and email your governor urging them to commit to exploring responsive redistricting with urgency — reviewing laws, building coalitions, and signaling readiness to act if Republicans gerrymander first. Get the call script here or use our email template here.

🤯 New Jersey — Call and email Governor Phil Murphy to publicly threaten action on responsive redistricting. Even if implementation is difficult, the public signal changes the risk calculation for Republicans. Get the call script here or use our email template here.

✊ Solidarity-only trifecta states (CT, DE, HI, ME, MA, NM, RI) or Democratic governors in split states (PA, WI, AZ, KY, NC) — Call and email your governor urging them to take the Come and Take It Pledge to welcome targeted lawmakers from red states, refuse cooperation with partisan federal law enforcement, and call on DOJ to investigate political targeting — in solidarity with the Texas Democrats who showed how to fight the Trump coup. Get the call script here or use our email template here.


Red States are the Frontlines

If you live in a Republican-controlled state, you're already inside the map-rigging machine. This is where the coup starts. So Texas is the opening salvo — but it's not the last.

Here’s what’s happening in red states right now:

In Texas, Republicans advanced a brutal mid-decade map designed to wipe out five Democratic seats. When Democrats walked out to block the vote, Trump’s allies called in the FBI to track them down.
In Indiana, Vice President JD Vance is pressuring GOP leaders to redraw maps immediately to lock in more Republican seats.
In Missouri and Ohio, Republican leaders are considering similar mid-cycle redistricting, following Trump’s directive to “pad the map” before 2026.
In Florida and Georgia, MAGA operatives are laying the groundwork to revisit existing maps under the guise of “efficiency” or “compliance.”

This isn’t accidental. It’s strategic. Trump and his allies are using state-level power to redraw maps in their favor — long before voters ever get a say. And they’re doing it now because they’re scared.

Trump’s grip on the House is weak. He’s afraid of investigations, of resistance, of losing power. So he’s trying to make sure he can’t lose — no matter how the country votes.
What You Can Do in a Red State

Even in deep-red territory, you are not powerless. There are key ways you can fight back from inside the machine:

Raise Hell Locally: Attend redistricting hearings. Flood your local news with letters to the editor. Call out what’s happening for what it is: an anti-democratic power grab. Name the names. Shine the spotlight. Make them sweat.

Support the Lawmakers Resisting: If your Democratic legislators are taking bold action — like walking out, as Texas lawmakers did — back them up. They need public support, political cover, and media attention.

Expose the Process: Demand transparency. MAGA maps are often drawn in secret. Force them into the light. Make sure every voter knows what’s at stake.

Link Up With Allies in Blue States: The MAGA redistricting coup is national — so is the resistance. Help raise awareness across state lines. Tell your friends in blue states why they must take action where you can’t.

Push Back on Federal Enforcement Abuse: If federal law enforcement is being weaponized to punish local lawmakers, that’s not just overreach — it’s authoritarianism. Sound the alarm.

This is not a political disagreement. It’s a multi-state scheme to dismantle democratic representation and install a permanent MAGA majority in the House — no matter how America votes.

Take Action Now
No Matter Where You Live

No matter where you live, on Saturday, August 16, people across the country will take to the streets for a nationwide nonviolent mass mobilization called Stop the Trump Takeover—in blue states, red states, and purple states alike. From state houses and city halls to community gathering spaces, we’ll make it clear: We see what Trump is doing, and we will not stand for it.
