Formal structure of Fairmaps/Fairdistricts organizations

[Jennifer Bremer]

We're considering setting up a website branded with fairmaps or fairdistricts as we move toward broadening collaboration on redistricting. We know there are several out there and would appreciate guidance on your experience with each of the following:

• website only (virtual organization)
• c(3) organization:  League "owned"/managed or a separate organization with its own board, etc. or something else...
• c(4) organization (same questions)

What have you found to be the advantages or disadvantages of going c(3) or c(4)?  Thanks!

Hi Jennifer--

I'm happy to talk through this with you. Other Leagues have joined coalition efforts that support this type of structure, but there are many things to consider before moving forward. Why don't we set up a time to chat?

For now we are tagging along with Fair Maps Colorado, an issue committee. We will set up our own issue committee - we think we have to because of state law - but probably won't have a separate website. We're trying to keep the messages for the campaign "controlled" so we are all saying approximately the same thing. We may direct people from our website to the Fair Maps website.

If you can continue to post the info you receive about setting up a web page, other states will appreciate access the information, too.

We have set up a very preliminary website within the LWVNC website (while we search for a volunteer webmaster). This can be accessed by going to www.fairdistrictsnc.org.  There are many good examples of much better websites, which you can find by searching fairdistricts or fairmaps. FairdistrictsPA is a very good one, I think. OneVirginia2021 is also good. See also Ohio's, Colorado's, Georgia's, Michigan's, New Jersey's, etc.
