Redistricting

Community involvement in the redistricting process is critical to move the ideas and input of communities of color into the formal policy discussion at the local, state and national level and ensure communities of color have a “seat at the table” when legislative boundaries are drawn.

Advancement Project’s main goal in our national Redistricting Project is to build power in communities of color through grassroots engagement in redistricting planning relevant to local campaigns. We will provide grassroots organizations representing communities of color with the tools they need to participate in the redistricting process.

Advancement Project will also examine the census process and partner with other organizations to ensure a fair and accurate 2010 census count.
