“Fair Districts All Volunteer Huddle,” hosted by Fair Districts Coalition, ACLU of Ohio, and Common Cause Ohio

Wednesday, April 10, 6pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

We want to let you know about a last-minute change of plans.

The bad news: Unfortunately, former Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor has had a schedule change that makes it impossible for her to join us at the 4-10-2024 Fair Districts Volunteer Huddle.

The good news: Former Justice Yvette McGee Brown is going to step in and join us! We are very excited to host her and hear why she is backing the Citizens Not Politicians effort to establish a citizens redistricting commission in Ohio.
