Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams are joined by special guest Mia Lewis, Associate Director of Common Cause Ohio, talking all about Citizens Not Politicians — the 2024 ballot initiative campaign to ban gerrymandering in Ohio.
A longtime veteran of the fight for fair maps, Mia helps explain the rationale behind having citizens draw Ohio voting maps instead of politicians, outlining previous pitfalls and giving Kelley and Terry a look at what the future could hold if Ohioans are successful at voting YES on Issue 1 in 2024.
