Hands-On Democracy

Event Description

The Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills is hosting a public education program on reforming Pennsylvania’s redistricting process. This event will be the first event of a four part Justice and Spirit Series involving Voting Rights and Advocacy. Fair Districts PA speaker Suzanne Broughton will explain PA’s current redistricting process, demonstrate how it undermines democracy, and then offer a solution to the problem. Suzanne will also discuss the legislative Harrisburg saga from this past summer and FDPA’s strategy going forward.

Fair Districts PA is a non-partisan coalition of citizens and organizations seeking to reform PA redistricting rules by taking the process out of the hands of party leaders and putting that process into the hands of an impartial, transparent, and accountable citizens’ commission.
