2021 Redistricting in the South Resources

Voting Rights
2021 Redistricting in the South Resources Spread: Giving Effective Public Testimony, 2021 Redistricting in North Carolina, and Redistricting Communications & Mobilization Toolkit

Updated: September 22, 2021

The 2021 redistricting cycle has begun.

The next 10 years of representation and resources for our communities is on the line. It’s time to make sure our voices, and our demands, are heard in the drawing of our local municipal, state legislative, and Congressional districts.

The Southern Coalition for Social Justice has played a leading role in community education and grassroots mobilization around the fight for fair maps across the South, from Texas to Virginia.

This page provides resources, tips, tricks, models, and more — in English and Spanish — freely available for communities across the South engaged in redistricting organizing and advocacy.
