Faith Leaders: Sign Letter to the Legislative Reapportionment Commission in Support of Fair Maps

Thanks to our friends at Draw the Lines PA for sharing this opportunity! Also, please share with small business owners and veterans who support fair redistricting.

Our elections should be free, fair, and secure.

But Pennsylvania has a long history of gerrymandering. Last cycle, both sets of maps were thrown out by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court due to extreme gerrymandering. According to the court, the maps “clearly, plainly and palpably” violated the state constitution. Whether it’s dividing communities of color to diminish the influence of their votes, or stacking the deck to ensure incumbents never have to run a tough reelection campaign again, gerrymandering is unethical and un-American. Our voices matter, but we need our politicians to act now to ensure our votes do too.

We know that the best way to make an impact is to demonstrate support for fair maps across the ideological spectrum. To that end, we’re inviting faith leaders, small business owners, and veterans across the commonwealth to send a message to the Pennsylvania Legislative Reapportionment Commission demanding they draw fair maps. If you or someone you know is part of one of these constituencies, please help us demonstrate public support for the fight against gerrymandering today by signing on to these letters! We will publish them early in the new year to make sure the Commission gets the message: over 80% of Pennsylvanians expect them to do the right thing to restore trust in the process.
