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.

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

On September 22, the Senate State Government Committee reported SB 1242 from committee. This is an important step forward for the Legislative and Congressional Redistricting Act, LACRA, introduced in the senate by Senator Tom Killion.
If you were watching for evidence that the PA House and Senate are listening to voters, you now know you were waiting in vain. After weeks of lofty language about elevating the voices of voters and listening to the people, our legislative leaders proved beyond a tiny shadow of a doubt that partisan games are still the order of the day.
