How Can You Get Involved?

You DO have a role in protecting fair representation

Every citizen has the power to make a difference in the fight against illegal mid-decade redistricting and gerrymandering in Florida. These practices undermine the democratic process, but both are already prohibited by the Florida Constitution. Now is the time to speak out and ensure that the voices of Floridians are heard and respected.

Key Facts About Redistricting in Florida

  • Mid-decade redistricting and gerrymandering are illegal under the Florida Constitution. Common Cause
  • 55% of Floridians oppose mid-decade redistricting.
  • 66% of Floridians want Congress to intervene and halt mid-decade redistricting.
  • 76% believe that community interests should be prioritized when drawing district maps, rather than political advantage.

Why Citizen Action Matters

Floridians are the ultimate check on undemocratic practices. By raising your voice and leveraging citizen influence, you can help prevent illegal redistricting proposals from being enacted.
