Fair Maps Friday: Check out the Campaign Legal Center's recent virtual panel on redistricting, featuring Jeanette Senecal from LWVUS in DC. It's an incredibly informative and eye-opening overview of redistricting and gerrymandering across the United States from a legal standpoint, and includes details about the League's work in the fight for fair maps. This video is approximately an hour long. 

"Redistricting will help determine who holds office in the next decade.
