CAIR-Ohio Denounces Ohio Redistricting Commission’s Proposed State Legislative Maps

Unconstitutional. Unacceptable. The Ohio Redistricting Commission’s proposed state legislative maps do not reflect Ohio voting preferences (55% republican, 45% democrat) and favor one political party, which goes against constitutional requirements. The maps crack apart communities of color, dividing our neighborhoods and pulling together parts of the state that don’t belong in the same districts.

TAKE ACTION

With less than a week until the constitutional deadline, the commission must allow the public to comment on the maps, but what they consider depends on  us! Public hearings are this coming Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We need Ohio Muslims to show up and speak up. Even if you can’t make it in person, we’ll help you write and submit testimony.
