How to Draw a Better City Council

In September, LA City Council will propose to voters an independent redistricting commission and – possibly – a new number of council seats for an expanded city council. Join the Fair Rep LA coalition for a hands-on Zoom teach-in that’ll help you draft maps and explore the impact of a different number of council seats on different communities of Angelenos. We will be covering the requirements for drawing a valid map, the specific challenges of redistricting the City of LA, and will walk you through how to use an online tool called Dave’s Redistricting App to draw and learn from your own expanded council map.

Note: By attending this teach-in, your email will also be shared with Fair Rep LA.
