Description

In this eye-opening episode of NEXT 2.0, hosts Marcus Atkinson and Chuck Cammarata sit down with Carol Kuniholm, Co-Founder of Fair Districts PA, and Michael Bucella, Northwest Region Coordinator, to unpack the ongoing battles over redistricting and the threats they pose to democracy.

From the controversial power grabs in Texas and California to the mechanics of gerrymandering—and even the lesser-known “dummymander”—the conversation breaks down how political maps are manipulated and what these tactics mean for voters across the country.

The guests also share strategies for fighting back, highlighting how citizens can resist partisan map-drawing and work toward a system that ensures fair representation for all.
