For far too long, North Carolina voters have been forced into gerrymandered voting districts that have illegally targeted voters of color or divided voters based on partisan politics. Under gerrymandering, politicians pick their voters, instead of voters choosing their representatives. It's time to end gerrymandering for good.

Luckily, there's a solution. The Fair Maps Act (NC House Bill 9) would take the power of redistricting away from politicians in Raleigh and entrust it with an independent commission of everyday North Carolinians. The commission would have an equal number of Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters drawing fair maps that protect communities and are free from political influence.

Add your name to say we must end gerrymandering and finally put people over politics. It's time to pass the Fair Maps Act.
