Fair Districts PA to Present
“End Gerrymandering Now”
at Pennridge High School
Carol Kuniholm from Fair Districts PA will present "End Gerrymandering Now” on Wednesday, April 12th at 7:00pm. Gerrymandering is the practice of dividing a geographic area into representative districts in a way that gives unfair political advantage to one party or group in an election. After an informational presentation, there will be a Q&A period, as well as time to meet with Fair Districts PA volunteers to learn more about the organization.

Carol Kuniholm is chair and co-founder of Fair Districts PA (FDPA) and board member responsible for election reform issues for the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania. FDPA is a nonpartisan, statewide coalition of individuals and organizations working to ensure Pennsylvania’s redistricting process is transparent, impartial and fair. Their goal is to secure the adoption of an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution replacing the current partisan system of redistricting with an independent, impartial citizen redistricting commission before the 2020 U.S. Census.

Formed in January 2016, FDPA has recently seen a surge of interest in the informational sessions being held across the state. Community meeting rooms are no longer sufficient to accommodate the crowds of hundreds in attendance. Over 3,000 people have attended 15 meetings held this year. At this writing, the FDPA email database lists over 7,000 members, with half joining in the past two months.
