On Thursday, April 29 the League of Women Voters of New Jersey and the Fair Districts New Jersey Coalition are hosting a People Powered Day of Action to shine a light on the redistricting process and demand fair maps.

Join Fair Districts New Jersey for a Day of Action on 4/29. Here’s how you can help make an impact:

  1. Sign up for our Day of Action Webinar! Learn from our expert panel about what you can do to fight gerrymandering: (7 PM, 4/29)
  2. Sign up for our Twitterstorm!  Join us for a Day of Action Twitterstorm on 4/29 to call for Fair Maps in NJ. We are hosting a best practices training (virtual) at 11:30 am on 4/29 to kick off the Twitterstorm event. 
  3. Spread the word! Let others know about the Day of Action, you can use this social media toolkit to help promote the Day of Action.

During the Day of Action webinar, we will discuss the current state of redistricting in New Jersey, and the opportunities that exist to improve the process. We believe the Commissions that draw the lines for our state legislative and Congressional districts must conduct an open, transparent process with meaningful opportunities for public engagement, and that the Commissions should be appropriately funded in order to carry out this work.

LWVSH adopted the following DEI policy at its December 13, 2020 meeting.
