Equal Districts Coalition: With Census Data in Hand, Ohio’s Redistricting Process Must Begin
COLUMBUS — Today, the US Census Bureau released redistricting data to the states for the purposes of redrawing state legislative and congressional districts. The Equal Districts Coalition — a unified group of nearly 30 Ohio advocacy organizations and unions engaged in the 2021 redistricting process — is calling on Ohio’s Redistricting Commission and legislature to immediately begin the important public work necessary to produce fair, representative districts.
“No matter who we are or where we’re from, we all deserve to stand on equal footing when it comes to having a say in who represents us in the Statehouse and in Congress. For too long, Ohioans have been shut out of the political process. We finally have a chance to fix that with fair maps — but only if our process is transparent and allows all of us an equal say in how our futures are drawn,” said Jeniece Brock, Ohio Citizens’ Redistricting Commission Vice Chair and Policy and Advocacy Director for the Ohio Organizing Collaborative.
