For nearly three years, Draw the Lines has barnstormed the state, educating and engaging Pennsylvanians in a wonky civic task called redistricting. As they learned about how the political pros cheat to protect their own interests, over 6,000 people tried their hand at drawing PA's voting districts. 1,200+ fully completed maps later, the results are clear: Pennsylvanians are ready to take on this core task of democracy themselves.
DTL's mapping competitions were merely practice for the real deal, which begins in 2021 when PA draws its congressional and legislative voting district lines for the next decade. Everything we've done has been with this moment in mind. We want you to help us get started.
Join us on October 19th at 5 pm to help launch the final round of Draw the Lines activities.
