We’ve been working quietly to help forge a new broad-based electoral coalition of neighborhood, political and civic organizations from across the spectrum from the NAACP and LULAC, to leading Republicans. (see flier below)
Our goal? To file 20,000 signatures in January for a public vote for geographic representation on the Austin City Council.
Austinites for Geographic Representationsupports a simple 10-1 (10 single-member districts with the Mayor elected at-large, by the whole city), combined with a non-partisan independent citizen’s redistricting commission, as the way to go.
Let the people draw the maps and let our citizens, not the campaign contributors, run the show!
(for details visit AGR on Facebook here)
PS Will geographic representation solve all our problems? It won’t solve any, if we don’t use it in our ongoing effort to take back Austin of, by and for its residents. This is but a tool!
