House Bill 38 was voted out of committee
This week the judicial district bill, House Bill 38, took a step closer to final passage.
When legislative leaders manipulate district boundaries to keep themselves in office or to silence their opposition, we ALL lose. This abuse of our political system has made Pennsylvania one of the most gerrymandered states in the country.
Send a letter to PA Representatives asking them to OPPOSE judicial districts (HB 38).
Fair Districts PA is a grassroots, non-partisan, volunteer-run organization dedicated to fixing our broken system so that our votes count and our voices are heard.
But we can’t do this without you. Help us put redistricting power back in the hands of the people of Pennsylvania, where it belongs.
Change is needed. Right now, whichever party has control of the legislature has control of redistricting. FDPA is advocating for a fair and transparent process that includes public input.
Citizens participate in the process and closed-door dealmaking ends
Clear standards against dividing counties and municipalities more than necessary.
Districts that truly reflect the will of the voters
Creating fair districts and mapping out a fair redistricting process will help reestablish an accountable government that represents the people of Pennsylvania — not partisan politicians or outside interests.
Help us make this a reality. Sign the petition

Some lawmakers want to pass a constitutional amendment that would effectively gerrymander our courts. This amendment would require PA’s statewide judges to run for election in regional districts drawn by lawmakers.
