What's at stake when it comes to how political district lines are drawn? The answer is simple: your voice in our democracy. The process that occurs in Minnesota every 10 years following the national census is the foundation for how our representative democracy operates. Ultimately, the redistricting process determines how your community is defined, who you have the opportunity to vote for, what kinds of policies and issues get debated, what happens to your tax dollars, and how the complex set of challenges we face are handled.
Speakers will provide background information, current status of redistricting, and how people can have an impact on the process. The event is sponsored Draw The Line Minnesota and co-sponsored by Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington Counties. While not required, please RSVP to help us with our planning.
Date: Thursday, April 7 from 7 – 9:00 p.m.
Location: League of Women Voters Minnesota, 550 Rice St, St. Paul
