Dear friends and allies,

I am writing to invite you to a symposium Common Cause is organizing titled "Redistricting Reform: Mapping Our Future," on Wednesday, October 7 in Washington, DC at The George Washington University Law School.

We will highlight the work of academics who have created new measures for gerrymandering and of advocates who will discuss reform campaigns happening around the country. From legislation to litigation, and initiatives in between, people are organizing efforts in state after state, and in Congress, to push for greater citizen involvement, transparency and fairness in drawing district lines. We invite you to join the conversation.

The symposium runs all day from 9:00 am-5:30 pm, with a reception until 6:30 pm. Panels will feature presentations by each of the academic winners of our "Gerrymander Standard" writing competition, attorneys who will discuss how recent U.S. Supreme Court cases are impacting redistricting, and grassroots advocates who will highlight legislative, ballot initiative and litigation efforts in the states.

Joining us will be Norm Ornstein, Prof. Alan Morrison, friends from MALDEF, Brennan Center, NAACP, League of Women Voters, Common Cause and many others. Check out this link for program updates and to RSVP.<http://act.commoncause.org/site/Calendar?id=102621&view=Detail>  More details to follow.

We hope you can join us for this timely redistricting reform symposium.
