Governments across the nation are redrawing district boundaries in the process known as redistricting. Over the past year experts, policymakers and advocates have used PlanScore, CLC's free online tool, to score district maps and assess whether they’re fair or gerrymandered.
Tomorrow, June 30 at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, CLC will host a virtual panel to review national trends in the redistricting process with PlanScore map data, as well as discuss ways advocates can stay engaged and what to expect after maps have been approved.
Our panel of experts includes:
|
|
- Mark Gaber, Senior Director, Redistricting, CLC (moderator)
- Katie Fahey, Executive Director, The People
- Chris Warshaw, Associate Professor of Political Science, George Washington University
