Northampton 2/19/20 Fair Districts Update Meeting

Start: Wednesday, February 19, 2020 6:00 PM

End: Wednesday, February 19, 2020 8:00 PM

The first half hour of our meeting will review some redistricting reform basics for new folks. We will explain:

·       What the current redistricting process is (how voting districts are drawn for both congressional and state representation seats).

·       Why PA is ranked as one of the worst states for partisan gerrymandering.

·       How gerrymandering affects all of us -- by affecting our choice at the polls, our ability to influence our lawmakers about issues we care about, and how it impacts the business community.

Then, we will provide updates on

·       Fair Districts PA 2020 legislative strategy and timetable

·       Updates from recent meetings with local legislators

·       Fair Districts PA new advertising/awareness campaign

·       How you can make a difference:3/23 Rally in Harrisburg, Election Day Outreach, local volunteering opportunities

Feel free to come at 6:30 if you already have Gerrymandering 101 covered!
