Redistricting Information Meeting
2019-05-22 18:00 - 19:00 | North Branch School, 221 Mickens Road, Afton, VA, 22920
Virginia is one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation (by both parties!), but OneVirginia2021, a non-partisan reform group, is working to put an end to that. On May 22, 6PM, Brian Cannon, executive director of OneVirginia2021, will be at North Branch School in Afton to share information about the efforts to end gerrymandering in Virginia for good. We passed a constitutional amendment through the General Assembly in 2019. Now we have to pass it for the second time in 2020, and then Virginians will vote on it November 2020. Now is the final push to fix this rigged system before the new maps are drawn in 2021.
