The Fight for Fair Representation: A Discussion with the Commissioners from...
Event Information
Description
****Note**** This is a FREE event. You may purchase an optional boxed lunch.
Join Fair Maps Texas and The League of Women Voters Irving as we welcome the commissioners from California's Independent Redistricting Commission. Speakers will explain how the Commission was created and how it drew electoral district lines in a nonpartisan, transparent manner with maximum public participation.
The League has long recognized that fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy and has fought hard to put an end to gerrymandering and its harmful effects. In order to pull back the curtain on the process of drawing districts, we need to make common-sense updates so that Texans can have their voices heard on Election Day. We hope that this forum will empower you to take action and bring the battle for fair maps to the doorstep of the legiuslature!
