The community has many needs. And presently the districts are unfairly drawn, and some cover vast areas that do not reflect a concern for people in the rural community.

"We want to be able to choose leaders of our choice who will show some genuine concern for our community.
The needs are many and we need leaders who care."

@SR_spatial: "We can expect that as the maps are proposed, they will be live on this site after the files have been made public."

@SR_spatial: "When maps are introduced in the Georgia Legislature, the corresponding shape files become available to the public. Those GIS shape files are then uploaded to this site."

"[O]n the eve of the special session, we offer these 225+ community maps as living testament to the fact that Georgians are watching this process, and they are demanding they be counted and districted fairly. "
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"While software like Representable is used […] to engage the general population, the committee didn't offer up these tools. Instead, it has fallen largely onto nonprofit organizations to do the work of raising the voices of Georgians in the process."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"Georgia’s redistricting process has been far from transparent up to this point, w/only a handful of public hearings held before draft maps or data were released, and hearings only held in English w/no materials made available in any other language."

"In drawing a COI map, community members write testimony about their community - its culture, demographics, economy, environment, and everything that makes it special. They then draw a physical map that they believe encompasses its boundaries."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"We offer these maps as testimony to the committee and to the legislature."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"Although Georgia is a state that is not legally required to account for COI maps in redistricting, COI maps give people an instantly understandable way to define their communities and express what they want to see in redistricting."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"In many states, legislatures are legally obligated to take COI’s into account when redistricting. COI’s deserve to be districted together to be able to voice their needs and vote for their common interests together."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"Communities of Interest are neighborhoods, communities, or groups of people who share common interests in some way - from a shared culture, language, and history to a shared interest or industry, such as poultry plant workers or peach farmers."
#FCPressConf #FairDistricts
"We are thrilled to announce the release of nearly 300 community drawn maps from communities across the state of Georgia. These Community of Interest (COI) maps, serve as key pieces of testimony [about how Georgians want to be] counted in this redistricting process.
#FCPressConf
Sen. Anderson: "Georgia is growing and rapidly diversifying. It’s no secret that gerrymandering has been used as a tool to silence Black voters and other communities of color in Georgia, so our charge this session is to do better. "
