[LWVNM Action] Updated info from the Citizen Redistricting Committee

[Richard Mason]

A big thank you to each of you for offering your time and knowledge to
strengthen political redistricting in New Mexico.  Yesterday, at the CRC
meeting at the Santa Claran Hotel and Casino, Chairman Chavez announced the
Citizen Redistricting Committee dates, times, and locations for round 2 of
public input meetings for statewide political districts. We hope that you
will continue to participate and ask your family, friends, and neighbors to
do the same.  *Will you help spread the word?*

 We had over 1,000 New Mexicans participate in-person or on-line during the
first round of meetings and almost 100 people gave public testimony.  If
people are interested in sharing input, there are still many ways to
contribute testimony on-line and in person. . Submit a Public Comment or
Map - New Mexico Citizens Redistricting Committee (nmredistricting.org)
<https://www.nmredistricting.org/submit-a-public-comment-or-map/>  We’ve
been told from the team at Tufts University that the new Census data will
be in DistrictR this Wednesday. This gives communities the tools to draw
and submit maps as testimony to the Citizen Redistricting Community about
how you think political districts should be drawn to best represent your
community.
