On Thursday, May 13, 2021 from 6:30-7:30 PM, the Public Policy Committee will present our webinar, Fair Maps: We All Count. Every citizen should be able to exercise their right to vote for candidates that represent their communities of interest. Webinar panelists will talk about their organization’s work on the Fair Maps initiative. The Public Policy committee will highlight the Fair Maps Tool Kit they created for members.

I’m just now watching the gerrymandering recording. I have a question about this sentence on slide #5: “Elected representatives are not unaccountable to their constituents as they do not worry about being re-elected;”
Wouldn’t it make more sense to say ‘representatives are not accountable…’
Yes, you are correct, Darlene. I think that was a typo.
