The initiative, Redistricting U, will send activists to provide free training and tools to volunteers involved in redistricting efforts and guide groups on how to “be leaders in the movement for fair maps.”
“Training is at the heart of organizing. It’s why I’ve always made it a priority – from my 2008 campaign until now,” Obama wrote in a tweet announcing Redistricting U, which is part of the All On The Line campaign.
In February, Obama’s Organizing For Action and former Attorney General Eric Holder’s National Redistricting Action Fund joined forces to create the All On The Line campaign — aimed at thwarting the use of so-called gerrymandering across the country.
"
The movement for fair maps will determine the course of progress on every issue we care about for the next decade,” Obama said. “And we can’t wait to begin organizing when the redistricting process starts in 2021. We need to build this movement from the ground up – right now.”

“It’s why I made it a priority in my 2008 campaign and throughout our larger movement for change in the years since,” the former president added.
The initiative is part of a larger push by the Obamas for voting reform. In 2018, former first lady Michelle Obama created the When We All Vote initiative aimed at increasing voter turnout across the country.

Good one!!!
Cuz he just purchased his own district.
Why is this traitorous turd still above ground? Eight years to try and destroy our country wasn’t enough? What other president has finished his term(s) and then set up organized groups to undermine the present president and the country in general? This turd, Valerie Jarret, Big Mike the tranny, and any other people involved in this subversion should be tried and shot, then thrown into a pen of hungry hogs.
[ A Congressional district shall be made up of one or more state counties but with no more than than one partial county.
I agree. Except I’m in Essex County which includes Newark. It would mean I would never have a Representative again. If it needed to be divided, I doubt they would use north-south lines to keep Newark away from me. I think large cities should not be part of other districts, and should be treated as counties as per your rules. ]
Heck I think that if a state exceeds more than 10% of the national population it should probably become either it’s own country or be broken into at least 3 or more states.
Some of the bigger cities like NY and LA should actually be their countries. ie. a City/state.
Once an organizer, always an organizer...
I’d have more respect for a gallon on vomit, than Obama vomiting up his latest lie.
Pass a law that mandates that all congressional districts have no more than 6 border sides. And watch the minority representation in congress be cut in half.
Redistricting = Redistribution.
What nonsense district borders.
Stalin had ‘fair’ maps too
He liked nice round numbers on his execution lists as well.
Isnt Obama in jail yet for his part in the coverup of the Hillary treasons ?
