Jesse Kharbanda, Director of Hoosier Environmental Council

Our second speaker, Julia Vaughn, Policy Director for Common Cause Indiana, will let us know what is happening in Indiana to reform redistricting and how you can help pass legislation to put a bipartisan and diverse group of citizens in charge of drawing maps.  Click here to see Common Cause, Indiana.
