Since the 2020 election, Florida’s state Legislature has enacted numerous measures that impact how Floridians vote and how their voices are heard. One of the ways that Florida citizens’ voices are either elevated or muted is by the process of redistricting.

The City of Lomita is considering the transition to City Council districts, with the first public hearing scheduled to take place tomorrow, Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. during the regular City Council Meeting that starts

In September 2019, the League launched its national redistricting effort People Powered Fair Maps™ (PPFM).

PPFM aimed to create greater transparency, fairness, and public participation in the redistricting process, which determines voting access, partisan representation, and federal funding for communities across the country.
