APAP Philadelphia recognized for redistricting work

Wed, 09/07/2011 - 23:55

By law, Philadelphia City Council must redraw and reestablish districts after the US Census completes its work counting the nation every ten years.  August 3rd, Azavea (Philadelphia-based software-engineering business specializing in geographic data analysis) announced a public redistricting competition to be conducted at FixPhillyDistricts.com, where any Philadelphia resident or group was able to use Azavea's DistrictBuilder software to draw their own councilmanic districts.

You can help determine the political future of AAPIs -- but only two weeks left to sign up!

Fri, 01/29/2010 - 16:18

The Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC) and other Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations are encouraging qualified AAPIs to apply for the new redistricting commission established by Proposition 11.  The 14-person citizens commission will draw new maps for state legislative and Board of Equalization districts in 2011.  How the new maps are drawn will determine whether AAPI communities are kept together or split unfairly.
