WAUSAU – FAIR MAPS COMMUNITY HEARING

The Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition is hitting the road, and we want to hear from YOU! Join us and local leaders for a Fair Maps Community Hearing to shape the future of redistricting in Wisconsin.

We may have fair maps now, but they’re only temporary. Without lasting legislation, we risk going back to a system where politicians pick their voters—and ignore the will of the people and we are not that far from the 2030 census. When maps are rigged, we don’t get what we want or need: clean air and water, strong public schools, affordable healthcare, and real accountability.

Drawing these maps is a highly technical, mathematical process. Commissioners on the Independent Redistricting Commission will work with experts committed to fairness and the high standards set by the legislation. A key component of an IRC is that Commissioners won’t be working on behalf of a political party but rather on behalf of Wisconsinites as committed public servants.

The FMC wants to hear from folks around the state to answer their questions about our proposal for fair maps legislation and get their input.

Thursday, July 17 at 6 PM at the Wausau Public Library
