Democrats and allied advocacy groups are set to launch a series of protests on Aug. 16 targeting Republican-led redistricting plans they say are designed to secure long-term control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

The “Fight the Trump Takeover” National Day of Action, organized by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Texas For All coalition, and dozens of national and state partners, will feature nearly 150 rallies in at least 34 states.
