This fall, politicians will re-draw Ohio’s congressional map (no bipartisan agreement last time around so the current map only lasted four years). Yes, our current map is gerrymandered, with 10 Republicans and only 5 Democrats when a proportional split would be 8/7 or 9/6. 

Unfortunately, this round of redrawing is probably only going to make things worse. Republicans have circulated both a 12/3 map and a 13/2 map!! It’s sickening, unconstitutional, and insulting to every one of us who have been working to end gerrymandering and for fair maps for so long!

That’s why Fair Districts and Equal Districts – the two coalitions working to end gerrymandering – are coming together to kick off the redistricting season with a show of force at the Ohio Statehouse. With your help, we will be able to encircle the Statehouse with our signs and chants and demands for fair representation!

If you hate gerrymandering and care about fairness, this event is really important! Please add it to your calendar now. Register HERE.
