At the request of Donald Trump, Republicans in the Texas legislature are trying to redraw congressional maps to create five new GOP U.S. House seats. Why? Because Trump knows his agenda is unpopular and his razor-thin MAGA majority in Congress is at risk in 2026.
But instead of letting the GOP majority roll over the state’s constitution to adopt these unethical maps, Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson and her Democratic colleagues have left the state to block the vote — facing threats of fines and arrest warrants in the process.
Join us to hear from Rep. Johnson as we discuss why she and her colleagues made the decision to leave, the ongoing fight against extreme gerrymandering in Texas, and why these battles matter far beyond state lines. We will explore what’s at stake for America and what each of us can do to help.
