CODE RED Redistricting
North Carolina will soon begin drawing new district maps at every level. It is critically important that the Black community be involved, as the redistricting process impacts our ability to build and maintain independent Black political power, and advance the issues that impact our community daily.
CODE RED, our redistricting education program, offers training and resources to help our community to understand and monitor the redistricting process and become more effective advocates for fair maps.
