[LWVNM Action] Six Community Conversations on Redistricting - starting Monday, July 18

[Richard Mason]

*Community Conversations on Redistricting We want LWVNM members to speak
out - see list belowI am attaching a document from the LWVNM initiated Fair
Districts for New Mexico that gives an overview*

 These are some of the questions/issues that will be explored through the
community conversations.

   1. what worked and what could have worked better about the Citizen
   Redistricting Committee process
   2. the relative importance of different redistricting criteria from the
   US Constitution, NM laws, and the Voting Rights Act
   3. the degree to which the process and outcomes recognized and respected
   the sovereign rights of the Tribal nations within New Mexico
   4. the importance of communities of interest
   5. if/how community input impacted our Legislature’s decisions
   6. ways to strengthen political redistricting in the future

 The first meeting will be mostly reflections on the past.  The second
meeting will focus more on what’s possible and how to get there before the
next Census/redistricting process.

A total of 12 meetings will be held in the late summer of 2022. Each
meeting is two hours. There are options to participate in person or via
zoom.  All meeting dates, locations, times, and zoom links are attached for
your reference.  The July meetings are also listed below:
