It’s official! The Redistricting Commission voted to finalize a map keeping BIPOC renter and low-income communities empowered across Seattle.
You all helped power our fight. *93%* of the final map (left) mirrors our RJS map (right) we submitted in July. When we organize, we win!
In 2021, @WARedistricting Commission broke the VRA by gerrymandering Latinos apart.
On Monday June 5, the Voting Rights Act trial for a Latino-opportunity LD in Central WA will begin.
If successful, a new statewide LD map would be drawn so Latinos can elect reps they support.
The Court will also hear a 2nd case from the other side that claims:
(1) Latinos are NOT protected by the VRA
(2) WA illegally gerrymandered to give too much power to Latinos (in legalese: used race as a predominant factor in redistricting without VRA allowance).
Redistricting is done in Washington for the 2020 cycle. We are now closing our coalition’s work until the 2030 census & redistricting cycle.
People like you powered our historic coalition and big wins. Thank YOU for your support.
Here’s what you helped us accomplish 🧵
Our work is done for 2020's redistricting cycle. But we will be back in 2030! Check back in to be a part of our even bigger, more powerful coalition work in the 2030 redistricting cycle.
Big thank you to everyone who’s supported our work 🫶
Right now, you can still help fight for better democracy.

Commissioner Nickels was the only dissenting vote, who voted against the map solely citing the Magnolia split despite voting for a similar map in August.
