Redistricting Reform that Restores Democracy to Illinois
For the last three decades, legislators have created their own districts after drawing a name out of a hat!
Illinois is the ONLY state in the nation that allows this magic trick to determine such an important issue.
We need your help to change this process and take it from the legislators and put it in the hands of an independent commission in order to make redistricting more transparent, fair, and accessible to the public.
In order to do this, we need to collect 500,000 signatures in Illinois by April 1, 2010!
