2021-2022 Statewide Redistricting
Politicians should not be allowed to draw voting maps that benefit themselves. We need to create a fair system so that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around.
Every ten years, states redraw their electoral districts to reflect population changes. This process should be about making sure that everyone has a voice in our government, but in some states, it has become a partisan tool to undermine our democracy.
Drawing unfair maps — a process known as gerrymandering — denies communities the representation and resources they deserve. Our work to end gerrymandering includes efforts in the courts, on the ballot, and in the legislature to ensure a just and independent process.
