Message from FairDistricts


We wanted you to be the first to know that the Justice Department has approved the FairDistricts Amendments. This is great news because it clears the way for full implementation of the new redistricting standards.

Your FairDistricts Amendments have now been approved by the Florida Supreme Court, by the Justice Department, and of course, overwhelmingly by the voters of Florida.

This is your victory - borne of your commitment to fairness in Florida government and your hard work.

Congratulations! I'm thrilled to share this moment with you.

While this is a setback for those who oppose FairDistricts, we know that the Tallahassee politicians will not stop their attempts to continue drawing districts to favor themselves and their political allies. So we cannot rest on this latest victory. We cannot rest until Florida's districts are drawn fairly and approved in court. We need the resources to continue to stand up for the fair districts we have all fought so long and hard for.
