Because "We the People" should select our representatives and not the other way around, the independent California Citizens Redistricting Commission, or CRC, was established in 2008 by citizen initiative.
For the CRC to draft fair and representative congressional, state Senate, state Assembly, and Board of Equalization district maps, we need communities to tell us about themselves.
We also need census 2020 data, including the number of congressional districts allocated to California ("reapportionment data").
Due to delays in receiving data from the United States Census Bureau, communities of interest will have more time to identify where they are located, how they are connected, and why it is crucial to be represented in the same district.
