Testimony is Advocacy Power!
Get ready to share your thoughts about past gerrymandered districts and about what you’d like to see as new maps are drawn.
We have shifted our attention to drawing of maps and to preparation for public hearings. A statewide Testimony Training Workshop took place on July 7 with over 300 people registered and almost 160 in attendance. You too can participate individually or by hosting a training session in your community.
