Fair Districts PA - Philly

FDPA is a nonpartisan grassroots group advocating for a fair redistricting process in Pennsylvania. End #gerrymandering!

[Fair Districts PA - Philly @FDPAPhilly]

A telling comment. PA politics is still a leader in the Race to the Bottom.
What would it take for our legislators to change this? Courage to buck the big funders? Boldness to vote one's conscience instead of just following the leader? Belief in the duty to represent voters?

Speaker Joanna McClinton (D., Philly) introduced a former state rep who served alongside K. Leroy Irvis 40 years ago. McClinton says she asked if things are any different. The response? "It's the same, just the players have changed."

PA could validate our founders & be a beacon of hope against petty despots of all kinds. 🗽
Or we can refuse reform, double down on the leader-driven stranglehold, & join other once great states racing toward the bottom. 🤔

#Gerrymandering is only gonna get worse by 2028.
"For Americans fed up with partisan redistricting, there’s bad news on the horizon: The gerrymandering war is just heating up."

"Congressional #gerrymandering is a circular firing squad."
This is just one of the many great metaphors to describe the stupidity of gerrymandering.
The public is clearly sick of it. When will the politicians listen?

The bipartisan #Gerrymandering Working Group will talk about ways to reform #redistricting.
This is fine. This is good.
But we pretty much know the answers already.
Let's hope we get action, not just talk.

#ThursdayThoughts re partisan #gerrymandering:
According to @ivn : "It might be that the best protection against #gerrymandering sits not in the courtroom or in the halls of Congress, but with an electorate that isn’t beholden to the parties."

Lots of fun opportunities within an hour or so of Chester County. Let’s hit the road & share what we know. What a difference a fair district makes! Legislators who listen & campaigns that make sense. We’ve seen it happen. Sign up for a shift!

[Fair Districts PA @FairDistrictsPA]

Get ready for summer tabling to share info about redistricting & the need for reform.

Do voters want leaders who redraw maps for partisan advantage?
Or do they want leaders who focus on issues & win on merits of their platform?
We'll continue to fight for an independent redistricting commission & watch for candidates who do the same.

“This #gerrymandering arms race is poised to turn into a nuclear war."
We can keep PA safe from the war by passing House Bill 31 & Senate Bill 131 to establish an independent redistricting commission.

🇺🇸1of2 This #MemorialDay we remember those who gave their lives to protect our freedom. In their honor, we recommit to our own role in protecting the freedoms we enjoy.
A top threat: politicized redistricting. It undermines trust & fuels political dysfunction & polarization.

[Fair Districts PA @FairDistrictsPA]

Some PA legislators - on both sides of the aisle - want to keep the power to draw partisan districts.
Latest polls show 2/3 of voters don't agree. That's been the case for years. Most voters want districts that don't favor either party.

A polling place outreach volunteer described the day as surprisingly delightful with many brief but meaningful conversations. Some voters expressed dismay, some hopelessness, about our country. Still they were voting & thankful we were doing something to right the system

[Fair Districts PA @FairDistrictsPA]

On Primary Day, more than 135 volunteers invested time at 35 polling places, collecting over 2600 petition signatures in rural, urban & suburban districts.
"While PA political leaders may fear reform, Pennsylvania voters demand it."

On Primary Day over 120 FPA volunteers braved heat & rain to collect petition signatures in support of an independent #redistricting commission. Most voters leaving the polls were quick to sign. Voters in all parties & parts of PA agree: #gerrymandering is cheating. Let’s end it
