North Carolina’s legislature will redraw our legislative and congressional districts in the coming months. Now is the time to press for the adoption of a fairer, more open process with clear criteria to limit gerrymandering. It is too late to get an independent commission in place for this year (it requires an amendment to the state constitution), but it is not too late to let legislators know that voters must be included in the map-drawing process.
Sign up to participate here and encourage your friends to do likewise. Both League members and non-members are welcome! Let’s show them we want fair maps!The day’s program (via Zoom) will include a call to action by current and former legislators, training on what to say when you call, ongoing support to callers, and a wrap-up conversation with some of our legislators. Phone calls are preferred, but participants also have the option of sending postcards.
