Public Telling for Fair Maps

October 17, 2023

The Wisconsin Fair Maps Coalition (WFMC) in conjunction with the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign hosted a “Public Telling” on Monday, October 9th at the State Capitol as a response to the legislature refusing to hold public hearings in the state Assembly on their latest redistricting bill (AB415).

We created a forum where Wisconsinites would get the opportunity to have their voices heard. There were quite a number of both print and broadcast media outlets in attendance and the entire hour-and-a-half event was livestreamed on WisconsinEye. Despite short notice we had more than 75 people in attendance!
