KS Fair Maps

 

 

THANK YOU

 

Thanks to your advocacy, Speaker of the House Dan Hawkins announced on Nov 4 that the Kansas Legislature will not hold a special session to redraw congressional maps. This is a huge victory for fair maps advocates; thank you!!

But we know that the fight is not over. In the same statement, Hawkins said he was counting down the days until January 12th–when the redistricting fight would begin again. Not only that, Senate President Ty Masterson responded to the news, saying "We’re not backing down, and we’re not sitting out of this fight.”

While we celebrate our first victory, we will prepare for the debate in January during the Legislature's regular session. KS Fair Maps and our partners will be ready! So thank you for all that you've done to speak up for fair maps, and thank you for all that you will do come January to keep telling our legislators: NO NEW MAPS!!

In solidarity, 

KS Fair Maps

 

We’re taking over the Rotunda at the Kansas Statehouse!

On Wednesday, January 14, KS Fair Maps will join other Kansas organizations to say NO NEW MAPS!

This Rotunda Takeover brings together voices that refuse to be silenced. Expect powerful speakers, music, shared lived experiences, and a collective demand for a Kansas that cares for all of us.

Let us know you're coming here.
