Meeting: Vermont Redistricting with Geographers: Local, State and National Impacts
Date and Time: October 1st, 2021 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm ET
How will Vermont draw new legislative districts where every voice is represented? And what can you do to make your voice count as those new maps are drawn? Even though Vermont has a single Congressional district, there is plenty of districting work to be done at the state and local levels to reflect population movement and change in the last 10 years. This panel aims to encourage all people to adopt a geographer's frame of mind when considering connections between local, state and federal representation. When it comes to the fight for fair redistricting, there is no one better equipped than a geographer. By activating our collective power as a community and pressing to have a geographer in the room in every state, we can set new expectations this year and show why geospatial thinkers are indispensable.
