Redistricting

Support redistricting processes and enforceable standards that promote fair and effective representation at all levels of government with maximum opportunity for public participation.

Impact of Redistricting

The process called “redistricting” will determine how our local school board, city council, state legislative, and congressional districts are drawn. How can our communities participate? How can we ensure that our interests are being heard and represented by our elected officials? How can we ensure that the voting strength of our communities is not weakened? What are the important factors to consider in redistricting?

Action Alerts

The health of our democracy and its people depends on accurate data from the 2020 Census. This data helps determine representation and resource allocation for Connecticut and the entire country for the next 10 years. Yet, the Census Bureau staff have only 11 weeks to complete their work on Census files, due to COVID-19 delays and reporting deadlines. Congress has the power to grant an extension, but it will require a Senate majority. That's why our Senators need to hear from us.
