September Action: Call PA State Representatives!

A committee in the House is holding a hearing on September 18 about redistricting reform. We can’t all show up in Harrisburg, but we can make an impact so all state representatives know their constituents want reform before the 2021 redistricting cycle, not in 2031!

Plan to call your representative before and after! All representatives need to hear from their constituents.

1. Find your state representative

To find out who your representative is or get their contact information, go to the PA General Assembly locator tool, then check the list below to find out if they are a member of the Committee.

2. Call your representative

If your representative is a committee member

  1. Before the hearing, use this script: “I can’t be in Harrisburg for the redistricting hearing, but I am very interested in the outcome. I support HB 22 and 23. What does Rep. X plan to say about redistricting reform?”
  2. After the hearing, use this script: “I couldn’t be in Harrisburg for the redistricting hearing, but I am very interested in the outcome. I support HB 22 and 23. What did Rep. X say about redistricting reform?”

If your representative is not a committee member

Use this script: “There’s a hearing about redistricting reform in the State Government Committee. I support creating an independent citizens redistricting commission. I’d like Rep. X to reach out to colleagues on that committee and ask them to support House Bills 22 and 23. I’ll call back after the hearing to ask who he/she was able to reach.”
