ONLINE: Fair Maps for All: Front Line Communities Speak Out

Gerrymandered electoral maps often target frontline communities — groups disproportionately affected by climate change, often made up of people of color. During this webinar sponsored by the Wisconsin Network for Peace and Justice, the Fair Maps Coalition, and partner organizations, speakers from around the state will participate in a panel discussion about how gerrymandering has affected their communities by creating obstacles to involvement in the political process.

media release: Fair Maps for All: Front Line Communities Speak Out! Panel Discussion

Thursday, January 20, 6pm

Fair Maps is an issue that impacts the entire state of Wisconsin. And at the same time, we know frontline communities are under-represented in decision making as it relates to electoral politics. Gerrymandering presents deep obstacles to frontline communities having the necessary channels for their voices to be heard.

Join us for an important and powerful Fair Maps for All panel discussion with frontline community leaders throughout WI to more deeply understand what's at stake and how we move forward together.
