Tame the Gerrymander is rallying in support of the fight against partisan gerrymandering in the 6th Congressional district of Maryland (Benisek v. Lamone) AND BEYOND! 

http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/benisek-v-lamone/

We will be joined by special guests affected by gerrymandering in MD - THE DISTRICTS THEMSELVES! They will share with you their troubles in ensuring all of their district residents have an equal say in government, and let you know what you can do to help fix this problem! 

We'll also be hearing from Michael Kimberly, the attorney on the Benisek v. Lamone case, and other key actors in the fight for redistricting reform in Maryland.

Walter Olson, Co-Chair of the MD Redistricting Reform Commission, and Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute will share some thoughts on the current case, and the situation in our state.

Brian Cannon, Executive Director of OneVA 2021 will also be there to talk about how the fight for reform in Virginia is going, and the push to ensure fair maps in 2021.

Araliya Rubin (age-9), co-author of "The United Shapes of America" coloring book that demonstrates the wackiness of gerrymandered districts will join us and share why redistricting reform matters to kids! http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2017/Chevy-Chase-Fourth-Grader-Issues-Challenge-To-Color-Inside-Congressional-District-Lines/

Even if you can't make it to DC, you can support us where you are by going live on Facebook on the day of the event, or just sharing posts and tweets with us all day on March 28th with the #FairMaps &/OR tagging @TametheGerrymander (FB) OR @TameGerrymander (Twitter).
