There was an interesting new post at The Hill by Justin Wise
Former President Obama on Monday announced a new initiative in a campaign to combat partisan gerrymandering.
“Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now,” Obama said in a tweet announcing Redistricting U, part of the All on the Line campaign.
Redistricting U will send trainers throughout the country to offer free, in-person instruction and help to volunteers involved in the redistricting process in states.
According to the campaign’s website, the initiative is being pushed to empower individuals to “be leaders in the movement for fair maps.”
“The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade,” Obama said. “And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up – right now.”
