Common Cause Minnesota and its grassroots partners are working around the state this summer and fall to educate voters and add names to our petition for a citizens’ redistricting commission. All the names that we collect will show elected officials that their constituents are against partisan gerrymandering and in favor of reform.

Here’s what you can do right now.

 Learn more about redistricting in Minnesota:

Share our petition and web pages with your social media contacts.

Let them know why you personally care about gerrymandering and how a citizens’ commission can reduce partisan influence over our district maps.

Volunteer for the petition campaign through October 2019

You can do this by joining our Action Team. We can connect you with one of our grassroots partners or provide you with training and materials to petition with your own group.

Discuss redistricting reform with your state representative and senator.

You can contact them through the Minnesota legislature website to call or write, but it’s even more effective to speak with your legislators in person. Many legislators are hosting town halls, door knocking in their districts, and attending town festivals and county fairs. They want hear from their constituents.

Talk with neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family.

This is a chance to reach across partisan divides. Gerrymandering affects all of us, whether we are on the right, the left or somewhere in the middle. Working for fair district maps can bring people of differing political views together. Most of us can agree that fair elections are good for our communities.
