Join us at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 2 at United Lutheran Seminary for an evening of talking about redistricting!

Tom Deloe will provide information on the bills currently before the General Assembly and the latest status on their progress through committees.
Justin Villere, of Draw the Lines, will discuss the PA Redistricting Reform Commissions report.
Justin will also brief us on Draw the Lines, the mapping software (DistrictBuilder), lead us in a demonstration of District Builder (on the large auditorium screen), answer questions, and assist those who have brought their laptops and have questions.

Draw the Lines is the type of cutting edge mapping software that political pros use to gerrymander. This demonstration shows how easily gerrymandering can be done and how the data embedded in the mapping software makes it such a potent tool.

If you also want to try your hand at drawing a map, bring your laptop! It’s easy!
