Citizen-Led Commission Applauds Ohio Supreme Court’s Decision to Invalidate Gerrymandered Legislative Maps
January 12, 2022
"We're so thankful to the Ohio justices for ruling in the people's favor. Voters deserve fair, representative, and inclusive legislative maps that include all of our voices. Black, brown, and Muslim Ohioans have always been left out of the discussion around redistricting, and therefore it's our voices that must be centered in the conversation because our communities suffer the impact of gerrymandering on a day-to-day basis. Now the process starts over again, and over the next 10 days we will make sure our voices are fully heard and represented during this new process. With this ruling in our favor, we are confident that Ohio will become a more equitable place for all of us."
- Jeniece Brock, Ohio Organizing Collaborative Policy and Advocacy Director, Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission Vice-Chair
