Spotlight PA is an independent, non-partisan newsroom powered by The Philadelphia Inquirer in partnership with PennLive/The Patriot-News, TribLIVE/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, and WITF Public Media. Sign up for our free newsletters.
In 2021, a handful of politicians will wield power over one of the most consequential and overlooked aspects of our democracy: redrawing Pennsylvania’s political districts.
They can dictate who belongs in their districts, and who doesn’t; who keeps their seat, and who loses it; and who gets representation, and who gets left out. And all of that has ripple effects.
On Tuesday, March 16 at 5 p.m., join Spotlight PA and our expert panelists in discussing redistricting, gerrymandering, and why it matters to our local communities. You can RSVP for FREE by clicking here. Our panel includes:
Marie Albiges, Spotlight PA’s redistricting, census, and election reporter
Salewa Ogunmefun, executive director of Pennsylvania Voice
Robert Saleem Holbrook, executive director of the Abolitionist Law Center.
You can RSVP for FREE and submit your questions in advance here.
