Rally for Fair Districts – Reclaim Our Democracy Rally

RALLY FOR FAIR DISTRICTS
HOSTED BY FAIR DISTRICTS PA – SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY
Reclaim Our Democracy Rally
Saturday, July 1st | 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Sunbury Riverfront Park (Arch & N. Front Street)
Even when it seems we are divided politically as a nation, there are issues that we can ALL rally behind. One of those is redistricting. The majority of Pennsylvanians are united behind the idea of fair and transparent redistricting and ending the partisan process in which the democratic and republican parties gerrymander districts and choose their own voters.
Gerrymandered district lines weaken the power of our votes—and politicians are working behind closed doors to keep it that way. We all pay the price.
Fair Districts PA has the answer. An independent commission comprised of real Pennsylvanians that is representative of real Pennsylvanians.
Fair Districts PA – Susquehanna Valley is demanding that voters choose their politicians, not the other way around. The rally call this Saturday will be “Let’s reclaim our Democracy!“. We urge local residents to make their voices heard on this important issue. The rally has a patriotic theme and participants are encouraged to bring signs that reflect the importance of a fair and transparent democracy.
Speakers:
- Drew Bingaman, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of PA
- Diana Dakey, Central PA Coordinator, Fair Districts PA
- Dwayne Heisler, State Democratic Committee
- Richard Shoch, Republican Chairman, Northumberland County Commissioners
