Cajon Neighborhood Fwd: Redistricting Commission visits Southern CA

 California Redistricting Commission visits
Los Angeles this Thursday!

The time has come for the Citizens Redistricting Commission to visit your area. With scheduled input hearings in Los Angeles this week, Inland Empire next week, and San Diego shortly after, we must prepare. The commission wants to know where YOU want to draw the lines for state senate, assembly, and congress, and how they can best help you achieve fair representation for your communities. As part of our statewide civic engagement effort, The Greenlining Institute will host a series of "Mapping our Future" workshops aimed at equipping community members with the skills and tools they need to provide meaningful input to the commission. No experience necessary; we will teach you everything you need to know. Watch our short redistricting video to learn more.

Don't miss this once-in-a-decade opportunity to ensure our communities are represented for the next 10 years.

We strongly encourage you to forward this invitation to your networks and encourage others to attend the next workshop in your area. Use our redistricting video as a tool to help educate others about this important process.
