As the redistricting process gets underway in Ohio this week, the Equal Districts coalition will be holding two town halls in Northeast Ohio to explain the process and let people know how to get involved.
On Saturday, August 7th, there will be an event at 10 a.m. at the Mayfield Library, and then a second town hall at 2 p.m. at the downtown branch of the Akron library.
In a statement, the coalition says the state's congressional maps have been drawn "so [politicians] can’t lose, allowing them to ignore the needs of our communities."
