Spot the Gerrymander: An Introduction to Redistricting w/ Draw the Lines PA

With the release of population data from the 2020 census, states are now in the complicated yet hugely important process of drawing maps for new congressional and state legislative districts. If you’re curious about how these maps are drawn, you’re not alone! PSPDG is excited to host Justin Villere of Draw the Lines PA (https://drawthelinespa.org/) for a workshop covering the basics of analyzing district maps. We will cover how redistricting works, look at some open source mapping software, cover the quantitative criteria used to evaluate maps, and finally go over how you can engage in advocacy in this process.
