The League of Women Voters Eden Area, Black Women Organized for Political Action, Hayward/South County Chapter and other collaborating organizations have developed a non-partisan informational webinar regarding redistricting, gerrymandering, Prop 50 and voting. All are welcome to this free session.
This webinar will offer a deep dive into how redistricting shapes representation — and why it matters for every voter. We’ll unpack the basics of district mapping, explore Proposition 50, and share practical tools to help you evaluate information and make your voice count this election season.
Non-partisan presenters will cover:
Redistricting 101 – Basics of redistricting and gerrymandering, how it has impacted community, and why it matters
Intro to Prop 50 – What Prop 50 would do if passed/not passed, how to access the proposed district map, what do the opponents and proponents say about Prop 50, and who is funding each side
Tools & Strategies for Engagement – How to vote, why voting is critical and what risks emerge if people do not vote, how to find reliable information about issues and candidates, practical tips for evaluating election/campaign materials and online content, and how to get involved in campaigns you care about.
Q&A will begin after all three presentations are completed.
Sunday, October 5
4:30 – 6pm
