Thank you for making redistricting reform a top issue in 2018!
2018 was a big year for Fair Districts PA and redistricting reform in Pennsylvania.
The 2011 PA congressional map created some of the most unfair districts in the country.
December Action! Procedural rules got in the way of reform in the last legislative session. Help us reform the rules today.

Rules Reform Background and Proposed Changes
Many important bills with bipartisan support die in committee, never making it to a vote in the Pennsylvania Legislature. The reason? Our procedural rules make it harder than it should be. Let’s change that.
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
Join the more than 40,000 Pennsylvanians who have already signed our petition to the PA Legislature.
We need you, now.
Polls show two-thirds of Pennsylvanians want reform. More than 270 county and municipal governments have passed resolutions of support. And a majority of legislators from both sides of the aisle support reform, but we need party leaders to act.
Thousands of your neighbors are already making calls and holding rallies. Join them. Take action now.
