The Voters Not Politicians ballot committee is hosting Redistricting Reform Town Halls across Michigan, and we’re coming to Stockbridge!
This is an opportunity for voters to learn about gerrymandering and discuss solutions. It will start with a fun and engaging introduction to the facts, then move into a discussion to hear from you and your neighbors.
Like any good town hall, your ideas and concerns will be heard, your questions answered, and your input used to keep building a campaign that reflects the will of all Michigan voters.
Admission is free, and all Michiganders are welcome (including young ones)! However, space is limited, so please RSVP!
