Nearly 9,000 Sign FDPA Redistricting Reform Petition on Election Day

Our nonpartisan solution to end gerrymandering in PA by establishing an independent citizens redistricting commission resonates with voters of all political stripes.

Failing Grades and Overdue Reform

May 19, 2019

Last week U.S. News & World Report released its third annual list of the best and worst states in America to live in, based on “thousands of data points to measure how well states are performing for their citizens.” Pennsylvania was ranked 41st: down from 30th in 2017 and 38th in 2018, far behind our neighboring states.

Let’s put redistricting power where it belongs: with the people.

A landmark Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision found that our 2011 congressional district map violated the state constitution. The court redrew the districts and issued a new map.

But this is only a short-term fix. Redistricting will happen again after the 2020 Census, and if we don’t change the process, the 2021 map is likely to be gerrymandered, too—regardless of which party is in power. That’s why we’re advocating for a new approach:

Impartial

An independent citizens’ commission leads redistricting efforts

Transparent

Citizens participate in the process and “closed-door” deal-making ends

Accountable

Clear standards for equality, fairness, and integrity guide the process
