A
A
B
B
You
for
being
over
here,
again.,
like
I
said,
my
name,
is
came
on
pleasure..
I
am
a
project
manager
with
redistricting
partners
and
we
will
be
going
over
community
outreach
community
of
interest,
which
is
really
one
of
the
most
critical
parts
of
redistricting..
I
will
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
at
the
end.,
so
first
we're.
B
B
What
we
will
cover
today.
first,
we
will
talk
a
bit
about
redistricting
basics.,
go
over
the
commission,
some
traditional
redistricting
principles..
We
will
really
go
in-depth
on
communities
of
interest..
We
will
do
a
mapping
tool.
Demonstration
talked
about
how
you
can
give
public
testimony
on
communities
of
interest..
B
redistricting
is
the
process
of
adjusting
district
lines
every
10
years
after
the
release
of
u.s.
census..
So
having
balanced
districts
really
ensures
that
every
community
is
represented
fairly.
and
when
people
usually
think
of
redistricting,,
they
usually
go
to
the
state
level
or
congressional
redistricting.,
but
local
governments
also
go
through
this
process.
Like
the
city,
exam
has
at
redistricting.
B
B
B
B
A
community
of
interest
is
a
neighborhood,,
a
community
or
a
group
of
people
who
have
common
policy
concerns,
who
would
benefit
from
being
maintained
in
a
single
district..
So
a
community
of
interest
is
defined
by
you.
The
local
community
members..
Another
way
of
understanding
a
community
of
interest
is
that
it's
a
way
for
a
community
to
tell
its
own
story
about
what
neighbors
share
in
common
and
what
makes
it
unique
when
compared
to
surrounding
communities..
So.
B
Keeping
a
community
of
interest
together
is
an
important
principle
in
redistricting..
It
can
be
especially
helpful
to
communities
that
have
been
traditionally
left
out
of
the
political
process
and
community
members
can
define
their
communities
by
telling
their
own
stories
and
describing
their
concerns.
policymakers.
B
Ethnic
and
language,
minorities
and
other
groups.
communities
of
interests
are
subjective
and
open
ended
just
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible..
So
new
thinking
of
creative
interests,
you
really
want
to
clarify
your
goals..
So
what
issues
you
and
your
neighbors
care
about?
What
levels
of
government
impact
those
issues??
What
are
you
advocating
for
in
your
community
and
how
it
is
influencing
the
maps?
help
your
cause
and
because
these
interests
are
defined
by
you
and
other
community
members.,
you
do
not
need
census
data
to.
B
B
B
Talked
about
what
a
meaning
of
interest
is
what
what??
Let's
also
talk
about,
what
is
not.,
so
the
fair
maps
act
explicitly
prohibits
the
following
groups
from
being
considered
a
community
of
interest..
Those
groups
are
political
party
affiliation,
incumbents
and
political
candidates..
It's
also
difficult
in
redistricting
to
build
a
map
on
a
group
of.
B
B
B
personal
stories
are
really
powerful,
so
you
want
ask
yourself
what
makes
your
community
unique?
you
want
to
imagine
describing
your
community
as
somebody
who
wants
to
move
there..
So
does
your
neighborhood
share
certain
celebrations
or
traditions??
Are
there
important
places
where
your
community
gathers
and
what.
B
B
Is
it
able
to
be
matched??
Oh,
you
really
need
to
make
sure
that
your
community
of
interest
can
be
drawn,
and
then
you
want
to
describe
the
community's
relationship
with
the
jurisdiction
and
how
it's
affected
by
policy
decisions.,
I'm
so
policy
issues
are
really
big
reason
why
most
people
are
invested
in
redistricting..
So
you
really
want
to
highlight
community
issues
in
your
personal
stories
and
written
narratives
and
that
helps
demonstrate
the
importance
having
elected
officials
who
understand
and
respond
to
community
needs..
So
has
your
community
come
together
to
advocate
for
important
services??
B
B
That
spanned
about
10
blocks
and
people
sped
down
the
street..
There
were
a
lot
of
accidents
and
the
street
had
schools
and
churches
on
it..
It
was
a
route
for
a
lot
of
trainers
that
worked
downtown
and
a
lot
of
people
lived
on
the
street..
So
the
community
members
that
did
live
on
that
street
went
to
this
city
for
a.
B
