Action Alert! No Partisan Maps

Call your legislators now & show up in Tallahassee this Wednesday!

Pamela, Florida lawmakers opened the door to mid-decade redistricting, a move that could silence communities across our state and violate the Florida Constitution. On December 10, the House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting is holding another hearing to set the stage for rigging our voting maps before next year's election. Before legislators walk into that room, they need to hear from you. Tell the committee members: Don't cheat. Don't break the law. Don't redraw the maps in the middle of the decade. Take Action: Call Representatives Now Drawing new voting maps before the next election in response to President Trump's call for gerrymandering districts nationwide to benefit his own party is illegal in the state of Florida. The people of Florida made it illegal when we passed the Fair Districts Amendments to our state constitution with a 63% vote in 2010. Florida's maps should reflect our people and our communities, not political ambitions. Allowing lawmakers to reshape districts whenever it benefits them, sets a dangerous precedent and violates public trust. On Tuesday, December 10 at 9:00am, the House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting will meet for the second time in Tallahassee to discuss mid-decade redistricting. If you're in or near Tallahassee, your presence in the hearing room matters. When the public shows up, lawmakers notice, and they understand that Floridians are paying attention. Here's how you can help right now: Call the committee members today, before the December 10 hearing, and tell them to reject mid-decade redistricting. Attend the House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting hearing in Tallahassee at 9:00am on December 10 if you're able. The location is: Reed Hall - Room 102 in the House Office Building (402 South Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL 32399). There may or may not be time for public comment.
