Ohioans rally for fair maps as communities push back against gerrymandering
Ohioans are gathering at the Statehouse today for Fair Maps Day, calling on lawmakers to draw congressional districts that better reflect their communities.
Advocates said the new maps will shape representation through 2032.
The Rev. Terry Williams, who pastors in rural Ohio, said gerrymandering has fractured local ties.
“People who literally go to the same churches, go to the same grocery stores, go to the same hospitals do not have the same representatives,” Williams pointed out. “Gerrymandering cracks our communities apart it eliminates our ability to hold anyone accountable.”
