“Hi, my name is ______ and I live in _______. I want to urge Senator _______ to vote YES on AB 764 on the floor.
I support AB 764 because:
Redistricting is of critical importance to achieving equitable representation in California and to democracy itself.
AB 764 strengthens California’s redistricting criteria to protect the interests of neighborhoods and communities.
This bill builds on the lessons that we learned during the 2020 redistricting cycle by strengthening administrative requirements, public engagement requirements, and transparency measures.
AB 764 also expands current redistricting laws to cover other districts that currently do not have to abide by even basic redistricting criteria.
Civic groups, voting rights organizations, and good government organizations support AB 764.
Every Californian’s voice should be heard when determining how communities will be represented, and good redistricting practices can help achieve that.
