Elections are supposed to represent the will of the people, not politicians. Unfortunately, some partisan lawmakers manipulate voting maps to keep themselves and their party in power. With a successful campaign we will reform the rules to create a fair system, so our local government is of, by, and for the people. The Redraw RI campaign will achieve this by putting an amendment to the Rhode Island Constitution on the ballot to create a 15-person Independent Redistricting Commission to draw legislative districts after each census. This commission was modeled after a successful effort in California and we believe that the Ocean State will have a similar victory. It is time for Rhode Island to have fair representation throughout the districts. Lets encourage our legislators to make this change! https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/help-us-redraw-ri-stop-gerrymandering-in-rhode-island
