Event Description

“Gerrymandering”,  2010 documentary film written and directed by Jeff Reichert,  explores the history of the redistricting process in the US and how it is used and abused by both major political parties when drawing legislative maps. It chronicles a California effort to fix the problem by implementing an independent citizen’s commission to lead redistricting efforts. Join Fair Districts PA for a free screening of the film and to learn more about the efforts to end Gerrymandering here in Pennsylvania.
