#Our2025: Protect the Vote

The Texas Legislature is using redistricting to silence our communities.
 Join Arlington NAACP in saying NO to racist gerrymandering.

Why This Redistricting Is Dangerous

• Texas is 60% people of color—but 40% of voters control 70% of congressional districts.
• Redistricting is required only every 10 years. This is a deliberate attempt to diminish minority voting power.
• This is not about party — this is about race.

   This is not about party—it’s about race and representation. I urge you to reject any maps that harm historic Black-led districts like TX-18 and TX-33, and instead protect fair and equitable representation.

SAMPLE LETTER YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE

Dear [Representative’s Name],

I am writing as a concerned constituent from [your city] to urge you to oppose any mid-decade redistricting proposals currently being considered in the Texas Legislature. These proposals do not reflect the will of the people—they are a direct threat to fair representation for Black and Brown communities across our state.

Redistricting is constitutionally required only after the decennial census, yet this rushed and unnecessary process appears to be a deliberate effort to diminish minority political power. With 60% of Texans being people of color, it is unconscionable that 70% of congressional districts are controlled by white voters.

I ask you to reject all gerrymandered maps, protect our civil rights, and ensure every voice counts—regardless of race or zip code. This issue is not about political party. It’s about racial justice and democracy.

Sincerely,  
[Your Name]  
[Your Zip Code]
