We are already one of the most gerrymandered states in the country\, but without us demanding fair representation\, there’s a good chance it’s going to get even worse. \n\n\n\nAs Ohio politicians begin redrawing our congressional map\, we have the opportunity to come together in a show of force to let the politicians in the Statehouse know we are still here and we’re not going anywhere. \n\n\n\nJoin Ohioans from each of our 15 congressional districts for Fair Maps Day\, brought to you by Fair Districts Ohio and Equal Districts. We’re coming together to surround the Ohio Statehouse with this message: no more cheating Ohioans out of fair representation! \n\n\n\nFair Maps Day on September 17 is our chance to put politicians on notice that we are paying attention\, and we demand that politicians respect voters and the rules of the Ohio Constitution. The day’s event will include speakers\, actions\, and more. \n\n\n\nFor more info and to RSVP\, go here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/636e40d7aa96a6f57e08789775c8d3d0d37c1410 URL:https://lwvwaynecounty.org/event/fair-maps-day-2025_0917/ LOCATION:Trinity Episcopal Church\, 125 East Broad Street\, Columbus\, Ohio\, 43202 CATEGORIES:Event of Interest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://lwvwaynecounty.org/wp-content/uploads/FairMapsDay2025-600x600-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250909T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250909T140000 DTSTAMP:20260428T155247 CREATED:20250814T171656Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250815T022856Z UID:4079-1757412000-1757426400@lwvwaynecounty.org SUMMARY:LWVO Airstream Voter Registration Tour DESCRIPTION:LWVWC Event: Members of LWV of Wayne County will be located near the entrance to Lowry Student Center at the College of Wooster on Tuesday\, September 9 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm\, along with representatives from the League of Women Voters of Ohio\, to register college students and help them request absentee ballots.
