Fair Districts NC is a coalition managed by the League of Women Voters of NC. Its mission:
• Get fairer maps for our state in the 2021 redistricting of congressional, legislative, and local districts.
• Establish a stronger legal basis for the 2021 redrawing, with real citizen participation and strong criteria.
• Work toward adoption of an independent citizens’ commission so voters, not politicians, draw our districts.
• Engage and educate NC residents about redistricting, why it’s key to our state’s future, and how they can get involved.
