Join the American Association of People with Disabilities for a webinar to learn about the redistricting process and how you can advocate for fair districts.
With the 2020 Census data released, states have begun the redistricting process. Organizers have a chance to shape future districts by sharing about their communities. Speakers include Sophia Lakin of the ACLU, Jamara Wilson of Equal Ground, and Alicia Gurrieri of the League of Women Voters. They will explain what redistricting is, why it is important, and what you can do to ensure fair districts for your communities.
