Protests against Republican redistricting plans in Texas are set to occur across 34 states. Texas House Democrats are currently blocking a redistricting vote to counter Trump’s influence. The planned mid-decade redistricting could add five Republican seats at Trump's request. In response, a nationwide coalition is advocating for fairness in electoral representation. California's democrats have announced potential redistricting changes contingent upon moves by Texas Republicans. This larger fight is emphasized as significant not just for Texas, but for the overarching integrity of democracy in the nation.
Thousands are expected to gather in cities and towns across 34 states on Saturday for a national day of protest against Republican redistricting plans in Texas and elsewhere.
