The Citizens' Map combines the 1,500 congressional maps Pennsylvanians have submitted to Draw the Lines. This is the first such map that has ever been created by citizens. It should be the starting point for the General Assembly's work.
We're a nonpartisan resource for Pennsylvanians who want to end gerrymandering. We provide teaching resources, digital tools and data so they can draw their own election maps. Why? To prove that the people of PA are done with gerrymandering and are ready, willing and able to do the core task of democracy themselves. Watch our story on YouTube. Questions? Please contact us.

Isabel's first entry to a DTL competition drew our eye because she and a teammate drew a fantastic map despite (because of?) they had differing political views.
In 2010, she was a 29-year-old piano teacher living near Allentown. Then she noticed something … off in how her home state ran elections. She got curious. Then she got mad. And Pennsylvania politics was in for an earthquake.
