FIGHT FOR FAIR DISTRICT MAPS CONTINUES
LEAGUE LEADS EFFORT TO PREVENT GERRYMANDERING
The League of Women Voters is working to support a new ballot initiative to create an independent commission to create fair maps. The Citizens Not Politicians amendment will:
- Create the 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission made up of Democratic, Republican, and Independent citizens who broadly represent the different geographic areas and demographics of the state.
- Ban current or former politicians, political party officials, lobbyists, and large political donors from sitting on the Commission.
- Require fair and impartial districts by making it unconstitutional to draw voting districts that discriminate against or favor any political party or individual politician.
- Require the commission to operate under an open and independent process.
RITA KIPP COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARD
LEAGUE HONORS SUSAN KING FOR HER WORK TO LAUNCH THE LICKING COUNTY POLLINATOR PATHWAY
Endangered monarch butterflies and other pollinators will find more milkweed plants and other native flowers and trees they need to survive, thanks to the leadership of Susan Studer King. The League honored Susan with the 2023 Rita Kipp Community Engagement Award for her efforts to connect public parks and private gardens to create a continuous corridor of pollinator-friendly habitat as part of the Licking County Pollinator Pathway.
The League of Women Voters of Licking County created the Rita Kipp Community Engagement Award to annually honor a local resident who is making a significant contribution in Licking County through non-partisan advocacy, community organizing, and/or civic engagement.
