Virginia needs a bipartisan solution.District lines split up communities because they're drawn by partisan politicians. But many states have a bipartisan commission that does this instead. That means stronger communities voting with one voice.
There's strong momentum. In 2008, Senate Bill 38, supported by prominent leaders of both
parties, gained unanimous support in committee and
33 votes out of 40 on the Senate floor. It was narrowly
defeated in House subcommittee by 1 vote.
Building support in your town. A diverse group of organizations is working to give Virginia voters a stronger voice. In towns and neighborhoods, they're working to build a grassroots voice for uniting Virginia's communities and ending gridlock in Richmond.
