April 6, 7-8:30pm. Sign up free at https://actionnetwork.org/events/end-prison-gerrymandering-in-pa-se-pa-forum Fair Districts PA is partnering with the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, Decarcerate PA, the Abolitionist Law Center, Straight Ahead, Free the Ballot, Pennsylvania Council of Churches Advocacy and the ACLU - Pennsylvania in a series of forums about gerrymandering, prison gerrymandering and the impact of both on PA prison policy. When the Census Bureau counts people every ten years, people in prison are counted as part of the electoral districts where they are incarcerated, rather than in their home communities. This distorts representation at local and state levels, giving prison districts undeserved strength in the state legislature and reducing the influence of communities whose populations are most impacted by incarceration.
