Keeping up with current litigation on redistricting can be a challenge. The Brennan Center for Justice provides background on redistricting and representation.  Independent commissions and courts each drew around a fifth of the maps in this redistricting cycle.  Twenty-six states passed maps mainly on a party-line basis.  Investigate the data through articles Assessing the Redistricting Cycle.

You want to submit a map to your redistricting commission, but you are not quite sure where to start.  Watch this video from the Redistricting Data Hub explaining one approach to local redistricting. After exploring various redistricting tools (or using one provided by your local redistricting commission) and drawing your map, provide a guide to viewers as to what is important.  This example is from Carlos Perez for the El Paso County Commission in Colorado.

Listen to a discussion between Former President Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley, Jr. about redistricting and gerrymandering in October of 1990.  "... I think there should be a bi-partisan commission appointed every ten years to redraw the districts to reflect what are the changes in population and so forth.  Instead, when you leave it to the legislatures, it's a conflict of interest."
