Policy Talks @ the Ford School/CLOSUP Lecture Series presents Michigan Redistricting: Making Public Hearings Fair and Effective on Tuesday, April 20, 2021 from 7 - 8 pm.  Free and open to the public.  Register here.

At this webinar, three MICRC Commissioners will introduce themselves and discuss plans for their first public hearings, which will take place all over the state in May and June.  Then, a panel of redistricting experts from a variety of states will share key lessons for fair and effective public hearings, and will offer tips to Michigan's Commissioners, COIs, and the public as they prepare for the hearings.
