Do you ever wonder why your vote feels like it doesn't count? The answer might be closer to home than you think.
While many believe our voting districts are permanent, they are redrawn every ten years following the census. Unfortunately, in Pennsylvania, these maps have become distorted and uneven, created by legislators to unfairly benefit themselves and invalidate our choices as voters. This process, known as gerrymandering, cheats everyone—regardless of your political party.
Join the League of Women Voters of Clarion County and Fair Districts PA of Clarion, Forest, Warren, and Venango Counties for an eye-opening presentation on redistricting and representation. Our special guest, Fair Districts PA Chair Carol Kuniholm, will explain how these maps are drawn, what the consequences are for our communities, and what we can do to fix this broken system.
You may not think redistricting is the most important issue facing us today, but it is a foundational one. As we've learned, "redistricting reform is a foundational issue that needs to be addressed first, before significant progress can be made on other policy matters." Come learn why this is true and how we can work together for fair maps that give power back to the people.
Snacks and time for networking will be included.
