California Redistricting
Good afternoon,
The California Citizens Redistricting Commission is launching the second Community of Interest (COI) public input meeting for Zone F-(Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare). Your input is vital to the success of the Commission. We need your Communities of Interest information to respect the boundaries of your communities during the redistricting process. Please see below for details and if you can help us with sharing it with your network.
 

We still have time slots available to provide Communities of Interest public input at one of our upcoming meetings. Sign up today!

Wednesday, August 4, 2021 Meeting
Zone F(Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare)
4:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M. daily or upon conclusion of business

Meeting Agenda August 4, 2021 Meeting

Input Registration/Information

Spanish and Punjabi interpretation will be provided automatically for this meeting. Other languages must be requested by email at interpreter.request@crc.ca.gov, on the registration form or by calling our offices at (916)323-0323.

Registration is recommended but not required to participate in this public input meeting. If you prefer not to provide personal information for registration, you can call in the day of the event to get in the queue to speak.

DURING THE MEETING YOU WILL BE ASKED TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMMUNITY.

While there are no clear rules on how to define a community of interest, we’ve identified ways for you to describe your community.

Begin with your county or city.
Mention the street names and significant locations in your neighborhood to help us identify the parameters of your community.
What are your shared interests?
What brings you together?
What is important to your community?
Are there nearby areas you want to be in a district with?
Nearby areas you don’t want to be in a district with? Why or why not?
Has your community come together to advocate for important services, better schools, roads, or health centers in your neighborhood?

To view a full list of upcoming business and COI input meetings, please visit our website at:

For community members who may not be familiar with the redistricting process, I have included our Redistricting Basics Video.
I have also included our digital toolkit.
Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to working with your community.
Best regards,

LCR Position on Current Issues

1. ADVOCATING FOR EQUITABLE POLICIES AT MODESTO CITY SCHOOLS (MCS) TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY AND FEASIBLE ACTIONS TO CLOSE THE EDUCATIONAL GAP OF LATINO STUDENTS COMPARED TO WHITE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE LIVING IN THE CITY’S POOREST AREAS: WESTSIDE, SOUTH SIDE, AND AIRPORT DISTRICT.

LCR will advocate for equitable policies that may benefit Latino students attending Modesto City Schools (MCS) from the poor areas of The City, including the westside, the south side, and the Airport District in order to improve the educational level in those communities.

2. LCR’s Position on People’s Right to Protest About Law Enforcement’s Use of Excessive Force Against Minorities

LCR supports peaceful protests against excessive use of force against African-Americans, Latinos, and other racial minorities. Police departments must be held accountable to the community and urgently address implicit racial biases within their members, including providing sufficient training.  A police force that proportionally reflects the racial diversity of its community is essential to the community’s trust in those departments and make their jobs easier and less dangerous to all of us. 

Police departments should endeavor to establish monthly community relations meetings with representatives/organizations of impacted communities to address key issues including, but not limited to:
• improving community & police relations
• diversity hiring practices
• stopping the school-to-prison pipeline
3. THE SPLIT-ROLL STATE PROPOSITION "SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES fIRST iNITIATIVE"

LCR supports the split-roll state proposition “Schools and Communities First Initiative” that would amend Prop. 13 to tax commercial — not residential — properties at their current market rate instead of the lower formula set by Prop. 13.  The increased tax revenue will annually increase funding for schools and local communities in our entire state.

4. VOTING RIGHTS

 All U.S. citizens should be able to vote.

5. Universal Healthcare

LCR supports Universal Healthcare for all Californians. Healthcare should not only be affordable to high income earners, but to everybody regardless of income.  The free market should not dictate who stays healthy or who does not.

6. Bail Reform

LCR supports Bail Reform, Senate Bill 10, now pending in the legislature.  The Eighth amendment of the constitution prohibits excessive bail. All Californians should have the right to bail without experiencing financial hardship that affects minorities and low income people in our state, excluding defendants charged with violent crime, sex offenses, or when the court finds that defendant’s release will be a danger to society.
