Don’t let Census changes blur the picture of our communities. Byron Laws compared it to a family portrait. Everyone may still be there, but remove the details that tell you who they are and you lose part of the story. Speak up: downforthecountal.org/resour… #Census2030

Ever looked at a district map and thought, “How did they draw THAT?” Gerrymandering can shape district lines to give an advantage to a group or party. That matters because maps shape representation. Before November, know your district and ballot. #Civic101 #VoterEducation
