War in Europe
As we fight against the suppression of human rights and freedom in our own country, our thoughts and support go out to the people of Ukraine as they face a devastating military invasion.
From NPR: Anti-war demonstrators and Ukrainians living in the U.S. protest against Russia’s military operation in Ukraine in Lafayette Park on February 24, 2022 in Washington, DC. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th.

Some Good News: Fairer Maps in PA & NC
Two of our target states, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, have fairer Congressional maps. After the NC State Supreme Court three-judge panel sent gerrymandered maps back to the legislature, Superior Court judges replaced the new Congressional map with one of its own. The results for the statehouse and senate are mixed but more favorable than the original Republican-drawn maps; the Congressional contests see 6 safely red seats, 5 safely blue seats, and 3 competitive seats. In PA, the state legislature map, especially for House seats, is a considerable improvement over the old map. We have a real shot at flipping that chamber. The Senate is a bit better, maybe.

Help Turn PA Blue
In 2020, Pennsylvania turned blue at the Presidential level! In 2022, there is much at stake from a flippable Senate seat, retaining the Governorship and the first real shot in 10 years, thanks to fairly drawn maps, at retaking the state legislature!
The key grassroots organization to make this happen, from the bottom of the ballot up, is Turn PA Blue.
