Action Alerts

LWVCT has proposed a bill to create a Task Force to Study Redistricting in Connecticut. Contact the GAE Committee today and urge them to introduce this bill before the February 25 deadline! Despite our advocacy calling for increased transparency, public involvement, and nonpartisanship in the redistricting process, 2021 redistricting was once again completed behind closed doors. We can't go back, but we can take steps now to make sure we don't repeat these mistakes. You can help!
