Together, we can end gerrymandering once and for all by taking the mapmaking out of the hands of elected officials.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOhio politicians have proven beyond all doubt that they cannot be trusted to draw fair districts that keep communities together and leave behind partisanship and self interest. That\u2019s why we\u2019re all in with the Citizens Not Politicians effort to establish a truly independent citizens redistricting commission and eager to begin the work. We\u2019re pleased to be able to invite you to <\/span>SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER<\/span><\/a>!\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nWe are expecting petition booklets to arrive sometime soon and to be able to begin collecting signatures towards the end of early vote. Once you sign up, you will be contacted with information about logistics.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nVolunteers collecting signatures are so important! Every conversation with a voter is an opportunity to educate, engage, and build the path toward fair districts, fair elections, and more accountable representation.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nVOLUNTEER TO HELP\u00a0<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\nIf you have not yet participated in a Fair Districts petition circulation training, here are some upcoming dates with registration links:<\/span>\r\n
