We need your help!



Please help us get the word out about the hearing! The Senate Redistricting Committee has not given the public enough time to alert their communities about the hearing, and we believe that by holding a hearing on a Sunday afternoon and posting notice for it on a Friday afternoon, they are trying to prevent people from voicing their concerns. They are also not giving people enough time to request language translation services for the hearing. It is clear that they are trying to create a false pretense of public input.
