Elected representatives who do not reflect our views: unfortunately, we all have them. New district maps will be drawn this year, and they will last for the next decade. How can we help make sure the process of redistricting is fair?

This question will be the focus of tomorrow’s AHEAD meeting, held virtually. Redistricting is so important that there are two events scheduled for tomorrow night.

Here’s the scoop for Wednesday, April 21:

• Consider attending the 6:00 p.m. League of Women Voters of Ohio virtual event: “Race & Redistricting: The Voting Rights Act & Ohio Mapmaking” BEFORE our AHEAD event.
• Join AHEAD members afterward, at 7 p.m., to discuss what was learned during the LWV event and how AHEAD can help. Holly Norton, League of Women Voters & AHEAD member, will facilitate the discussion. **Please note start time of AHEAD meeting has been changed to 7:00 p.m. due to the LWV event.** For the Zoom link to the 7 p.m. AHEAD meeting, please refer to this week’s AHEAD newsletter or visit the Facebook invite.

We hope to see you there!
