Advocacy for Ethical Redistricting - ZoomAugust 30 Zoom Event Greetings from the LWVWV Fair Maps CommitteeZoom Meeting Link Dr. Kenneth Martis, professor emeritus of geography, West Virginia University and Jing Zhang (AICP, PTP Morgantown Monongalia MPO) will be present to discuss their recent collaboration to create a concept map of the WV Monongalia County House of Delegate Districts. As Public Hearings proceed, we continue to hear voices advocating for fair maps, quoting the WV Constitution and the merits of maintaining the integrity of county lines, compactness, keeping district lines contiguous and honoring communities of interest. The current district maps stand as examples of how WV's electoral districts have previously been gerrymandered. Exhibits of what a fair map should look like can paint a powerful picture to influence new electoral maps as the WV Redistricting process unfolds. Potential points for discussion:
For more information on redistricting, visit Redistricting Information & Resources on the LWVWV website. Submissions of comments and recommendations continue to be added to the WV Legislative website Citizen Submissions page. Please remember that this is an important tool for hardcopy evidence of public input. Thank you to our Fair Maps Colleagues for your continued diligence throughout this process! |

Finish The Job! For the People Nationwide Day of ActionSeptember 1 – Virtual; see link in event description. For months, activists across the country have been organizing in their communities through hosting events, publishing LTEs, and meeting with their Senators to stress the urgent need to pass the For the People Act. And because of that hard work, we're closer than ever to getting this bill passed. On September 13, Senators will return to Washington DC and Majority Leader Schumer has promised us that voting rights will be the first legislative priority when the Senate returns. To ensure our Senators Finish the Job in getting the bill passed and signed into law, we're hosting a Nationwide Day of Action on September 17 to demonstrate the deep and widespread support for getting this bill passed now. To succeed, we'll need your help. Join us for a Host Call to learn more about our Finish the Job Nationwide Day of Action and to receive tips on how you can host an event in your community. We’ll discuss creative actions you can take to show up in support of the For the People Act! |

Nationwide Day of ActionSeptember 17
The Declaration for American Democracy (DFAD) is a diverse coalition of more than 200 organizations from labor, environmental, faith, social justice, good government, civil rights, reproductive rights, and many other important communities that has organized in strong support of the For the People Act (H.R.1/S.1). This transformational legislation would get big money out of politics, protect and strengthen the right to vote, end gerrymandering so that voters are more fairly represented, and establish anti-corruption measures to fix our broken system and amplify the voices of everyday Americans in our democracy.
