4 League of Women Voters of North Carolina Webinar: Reasonable Redistricting Reform Wednesday, August 29, :00-6:00pm Learn about the League of Women Voters' new approach to getting fair districts for NC - and how YOU can be a part of making it happen. When politicians draw their own districts, the party in charge of the map-drawing can ensure its own electoral victory for the next decade. This is not the way our democracy is supposed to work! We need to put a fairer system in place in time for the next redrawing,but how can we get that done? Join us to hear about the League of Women Voters new approach --Reasonable Redistricting Reform -- and how it can end extreme gerrymandering once and for all. Jennifer Bremer, the League's state chair for redistricting, will present the results of a new League study analyzing 50 bills from across the country to identify the best approach to reform in North Carolina. Questions? Contact Jennifer at Bremer.jennifer@gmail.com Join us 5-10 minutes early to ensure a prompt start and
