SCOTUS-Rally for redistricting
Wednesday, March 28 2018
Supreme Court of the United States, Washington DC
10a-12p
Gerrymandering is a huge problem that is eroding democracy from coast to coast. Maryland is not immune to this bad practice. In fact, a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of Maryland's congressional district 6 has made it's way to the Supreme Court of the United States. Oral arguments in Benisek v. Lamone will be heard on Weds, March 28, and the Tame the Gerrymander coalition, comprised of Represent Maryland, League of Women Voters Maryland, and Common Cause Maryland, is holding a rally out front to support this important case.
As a special treat for attendees, each of Maryland's eight congressional districts will talk about how gerrymandered maps have affected them. We'll also have updates from people close to the case, and grassroots organizers in Maryland and Virginia to explain how voters can get involved with this issue.
Please join us for the Rally for Redistricting, and learn more about the destructive practice of gerrymandering in America!
