HomePass a Local Resolution
Our local communities can pass a resolution in support of fair, impartial, and transparent redistricting practices and call for the Legislature to do the same! Passing a local resolution is an effective strategy for building momentum. By shifting our attention to the local level, we can focus on increasing engagement within our communities. This will help broaden our outreach and give us a better foundation to work from.

Use the strategy below:
