No matter our color, background, or ZIP code, voters should pick their leaders, not the other way around. Every decade, after the census, we draw new district lines that give each of our votes equal weight, each of our voices equal stature, and each of our communities equal access to the decision-making processes that determine funds for schools, hospitals, and other essential services that our communities need.
Ten years ago, a handful of powerful politicians rigged our maps robbing the people of WI of our voice, our power. We will not let this happen again. By working together, we can create the change that our state needs: equity and fairness for all.
The PMC has been listening to the people of WI and experts for a year. Now, thanks to the census data released last month, they are creating maps that could influence the next 10 years for our schools, our families and our communities. Let your voice be heard - provide feedback at Mappy Hour - Last Call! They will use our feedback to create their final district maps to provide to the legislature and governor. This is our opportunity for our voices to be heard! The best way to get folks to come is to invite them personally. Call your friends, tell your community. Without fair maps, we cannot make progress in WI on the big issues that matter to us. Come provide feedback to the PMC with us, have some fun (yes we have a game and prizes!) and enjoy a beer with friends.
