Most residents have no idea how state legislative and congressional districts are drawn, or how this process has helped lead to our partisan political divide today. This class will show how districts are now drawn by political leaders to maintain their power and benefit their party, with little regard to whether districts keep communities together, and fairly represent residents. Fair District PA, a non-partisan group, is advocating for a citizens' commission to replace the current process. Course members will learn about this idea, and how they can support change if they choose.
