This monthly meeting features guests you don’t want to miss. It is a great “bring a friend” event. Share the Facebook Event on social media and with friends and family. We will get an update on the People’s Maps Commission from 4th CD Commissioner Ben Rangel. We will hear from Wisconsinites across the political divide who want to #EndGerrymandering. And our special guest is Walter Olson, the Republican co-chair of Maryland’s Citizens Redistricting Commission. Maryland was gerrymandered by Democrats. It’s wrong no matter who does it. Hear from people across the country and across the political divide, all working to #EndGerrymandering. Learn what YOU can do to #EndGerrymandering. https://northshorefairmaps.com/events/.
