Meeting: New Jersey Redistricting with Geographers: Mapping for Equity and Inclusion
Date and Time: September 24th, 2021 11:00 am - 12:00 pm ET
This panel will provide participants with the fundamentals of redistricting in New Jersey, and explore why public participation in this process is essential to fair, equitable and inclusive representation. The presentations will include political process expertise, advocacy guidance, and context on the valuable role geography should play in New Jersey's redistricting process. Participants will learn current circumstances in the state, and how individuals and communities can step up and get involved as new maps are drawn. 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.
