SUMMARY:Redistricting in Michigan: The MICRC & Communities of Interest
DESCRIPTION:In 2018 Michigan voters approved a Constitutional amendment to 
 change how redistricting is done in the state\, removing the process from 
 the purview of the state legislature and placing it in the hands of the new 
 Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (MICRC). This new 
 independent process gives regular\, everyday Michigan residents the ability 
 to draw the state's legislative districts.\n\nJoin us for this virtual town 
 hall event to educate Michigan voters on the MICRC's process in drawing new 
 legislative and congressional maps. The evening's speakers will discuss 
 redistricting in Michigan\, the commission and opportunities for the 
 public\, including Communities of Interest\, to provide input to the 
 commission before it draws the maps.\n\nStatewide\, the League of Women 
 Voters has undertaken a widespread educational effort to help voters 
 understand redistricting and to ensure the MICRC is being what voters have 
 asked: for citizens to draw district lines instead of legislators or 
 special interests\, and for the commission to respect Communities of 
 Interest.\n\n\nRegistration is required and begins Thursday\, April 8\, 
 2021 at 10am\, closing one hour before the program starts. The Zoom meeting 
 link and password will be emailed to registered participants prior to the 
 program. See below for technical requirements.\n\nThe event includes a live 
 Q&A session after the conversation and as many audience questions will be 
 addressed as time permits. If you have questions ahead of the program\, 
 please enter them into the registration form when you sign up or submit 
 them on this form in advance of the program and we will do our best to have 
 your question(s) addressed live during the event.\n\n \n\nPresented by the 
 League of Women Voters of the Ann Arbor Area - Brighton/Howell Area 
 Geographical Unit and the Howell Carnegie District Library\n\n \n\nThe 
 Library's virtual programs are recorded when possible and the recordings 
 made available on YouTube.\nDiscover all of our adult virtual program 
 recordings on the Library's YouTube channel.\n\n\n
