Texans Against Gerrymandering - TAG
United States
Приєднався 24 тра 2020
Texans Against Gerrymandering is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and nonpartisan organization whose mission is ending the practice of gerrymandering in our state through redistricting reform.
Gerrymandering! We can't leave it like that!
The practice of gerrymandering makes it harder to pass laws that most Texans want. Texas needs to change the system for drawing maps in order to pass laws that help all Texans thrive. And the only way to do that is to amend the Constitution. Listen to this discussion between Lydia Ozuna, President of Texans Against Gerrymandering, and Stacy Maag, Vice President of Texans Against Gerrymandering, to get a sneak peek at the news that TAG is making.
