First Rule for Texas Redistricting: DO NOT HIDE OR DESTROY. "The public has a right to full transparency on how and why proposed maps were created. " #FairMapsTX

[Fair Maps Texas @FairMapsTexas]

Don’t Hide or Destroy

Keep all documents, written communications, emails, text messages and draft maps. The public has a right to full transparency on how and why proposed maps were created. "Already, organizations involved in redistricting, including ones associated with

Help Virginia slay the gerrymander!

Live in VA or know someone who does ? Then join @1VA2021 and end gerrymandering, otherwise it is another decade of rigged maps. #slaythedragon #endgerrymandering #us4us

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

Citizens have work to do! Here are just a few:
1. Participate in local field hearings prior to the Census
2. Write Letters to the Editor - make your views on gerrymandering known!
3. Demand transparency in the redistricting process
4. Support HR 1
5, VOTE!

Gerrymandering and SCOTUS. #fairmaps

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

YES! And don't forget @FairMapsTexas 😀

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

@NPR On the plus side, the Census question has been remanded back to the lower courts. It would have caused dramatic undercounts. #FairMaps begin with accurate counts.

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

The solution may be "beyond" the courts - but it is not beyond our citizenry. Time for an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission in Texas and every state in the union. https://t.co/yMwclJCPcb

Fair Maps = Good policy = Effective government. Who would have thought? #FairMapsTexas

[Fair Maps Texas @FairMapsTexas]

So how do gerrymandering and climate change go together? Gerrymandering has created an environment where politicians are afraid to compromise out of fear of being targeted in the primary by a more extreme candidate. We must have #fairmaps if we want effective policy. #txlege

[Common Cause Texas @CCauseTexas]

A healthy, well-functioning democracy requires participation

So what’s the solution? A HUGE step forward would be for #txlege to adopt HB 3008 and 3009 by @JamesTalarico and @TrentAshby

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

Ask your TX Reps to get these bills out of committee: We urgently need an Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission

​House Bills HJR 123 & HB 3928
Senate Bills SJR 52 & SB 1537

​For details on these and other key redistricting reform bills: https://t.co/ol2DJEruXv

Please contact Chairman Phil King's office at [phone] to thank him for holding a hearing on important redistriciting refom legislation - HJR 123, HB 3928 and HB 3421 - and ask that he call a vote on them. #FairMapsTexas

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

End Prison-based Gerrymandering by supporting HB 104. Texas counts incarcerated persons as residents of prisons rather than their last known address. This practice artificially inflates a district's population count/ political influence of districts where prisons are located.

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

Make your voices heard - tell your reps you want redistricting reform bills out of committee and on to the floor for a vote! https://t.co/dZNbkCUgJR

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

Thank you @FairMapsTexas for your efforts to keep pressure for Redistricting Reform. #EndGerrymandering

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

Thank you @PhilKingTX for holding this hearing. I hope that the #txlege listens to the people and chooses an independent commission, because its time to stop the scam of gerrymandering and let the voters pick their politicians instead of the politicians picking their voters.

[Texas Redistricting @TxRedistricting]

Reform will only come from citizen pressure. Keep it coming! #FairMapsTexas

[Fair Maps Texas @FairMapsTexas]

Be part of history! Call your state rep and tell them to cosponsor HB3421, HJR123, HB104 #fairelections #endgerrymandering #fairmaps #Democracyinaction @GovAbbott @LtGovTX @PhilKingTX @TexasStandard
