Learn Gerrymandering's Dangers At Berwyn Synagogue Feb 25

BERWYN, PA – Gerrymandering is a hot topic in Pennsylvania at the moment, as the state Supreme Court this week will make a decision on whether or not the current map violates the state's constitution.

And to help you better understand gerrymandering in our state, Fair Districts PA's Chester County chapter is hosting a community event in Berwyn in late February.

The group will hold the event from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 25 in Congregation Or Shalom's Society Hall located at 835 Darby Paoli Road in Berwyn.

See how gerrymandering impacts counties in the region:

• Chester County
• Delaware County
• Montgomery County

At the event – which is titled "Make Your Vote Count: Understanding and Ending Gerrymandering in Pennsylvania" – Phoenixville business owner Chuck Yeiser will explain PA’s current redistricting process, demonstrate how it undermines democracy, and then offer a solution to the problem.

Attendees will be able to ask questions, participate in discussion, and cover potential actions to be taken to address the issue.

Those who wish to attend the event are asked to RSVP on Facebook here.

Fair Districts PA is a non-partisan coalition of citizens and organizations seeking to reform PA re-districting rules.
