YES, Voters care about fair districts and are willing to sign a petition in support.
A landmark Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision found that our 2011 congressional district map violated the state constitution. The court redrew the districts and issued a new map.
But this is only a short-term fix. Redistricting will happen again after the 2020 Census, and if we don’t change the process, the 2021 map is likely to be gerrymandered, too—regardless of which party is in power.
That’s why we’re advocating for a new approach:
An independent citizens’ commission leads redistricting efforts
Citizens participate in the process and “closed-door” deal-making ends
Clear standards for equality, fairness, and integrity guide the process
Join the more than 70,000 Pennsylvanians who have already signed our petition to the PA Legislature.
A majority of legislators from both sides of the aisle support reform, but we need party leaders to act. Thousands of your neighbors are already making calls and holding rallies. Join them. Take action now.
