A community of interest, or interest-based community, is a community of people who share a common interest or passion. In redistricting, communities of interest are groups of individuals who are likely to have comparable legislative and community concerns based on similarities and who therefore would benefit from cohesive representation in the legislature.

 

Join us Wednesday, March 3rd at 6:30 pm for a train the trainer training on engaging communities of interest in New York State. Our training will discuss what communities of interest are, why it is important to engage them in the redistricting process, how to identify communities of interest, and how to engage them in the redistricting process.

 

After the training, the State League will provide materials to local Leagues for conducting their own community of interest training to begin engaging stakeholders in their community. Click here to register.
