From Pennsylvania Common Cause: (https://www.commoncause.org/pennsylvania/):
Every eligible voter in Pennsylvania has the right to be heard. We all deserve to know that our votes count for the future of our families, friends, and communities.
But right now, that very right is in jeopardy.
That’s because politicians here in Pennsylvania have the power to draw their own electoral maps. And when they do, they manipulate district lines for their advantage — dividing voters or packing them together, all to keep themselves and their party in power.
It’s called gerrymandering — and it’s a major threat to our democracy. And, if you agree it’s time for a change — there’s an important action you can take right now.
Join thousands of your fellow Pennsylvanians in speaking out for what’s right — by adding your name to the End Gerrymandering Pennsylvania Pledge today at https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/take-the-end-gerrymandering-pennyslvania-pledge.
Elected officials, candidates for office, advocates, public figures, and ordinary Pennsylvanians are standing together to take the End Gerrymandering Pennsylvania Pledge — to show their unified support for our right to fair representation and a meaningful choice when we go to the polls.
If we can ensure fair and transparent voting maps, then we can truly hold legislators accountable on the issues we care about — like education, the environment, taxes, infrastructure, criminal and civil justice, and more.
That’s why Common Cause Pennsylvania is leading the fight to reform our redistricting process and end gerrymandering once and for all. If you’re with us, please take the pledge today >>
Every eligible voter in Pennsylvania has the right to be heard — and to know that their vote counts in selecting the people and policies that affect their family, their friends, and their community.
