Despite promises of including the public, the City Council voted to approve a new map drawn by the unelected city attorney, Allan Wade, ahead of the special election to fill the District 4 seat in November. This map was approved even though the August 23rd meeting was the first time the public–and even some of the Council members–had seen the proposed changes. Redrawing maps behind closed doors is undemocratic and shuts all of us out of important decisions that will affect our families, neighborhoods, and communities for the next decade.
In response to the City’s recent redistricting behind closed doors ahead of the November election, the NAACP, the Shelby County Voter Alliance Stand for Children, and Votes For All are calling on the Memphis City Council to adopt a process similar to the Shelby County Commission’s more open redistricting by placing members of the public on the Council’s redistricting committee.
The City Council and unelected attorney Allan Wade’s move to shut us out is unacceptable, but we still have a chance to bring transparency and fairness to the City’s redistricting. The next 10 years of community investment–like public transit and housing–depend on how our districts are drawn, and we the people deserve to have a voice in that process.

Organizaciones piden aumentar el uso del español para atraer el voto latino en Estados Unidos
Por Euronews con EFE • 29/06/2022
Los presidentes de varias organizaciones para el progreso de la comunidad hispana en Estados Unidos pidieron este martes que aumente el uso del español por parte de los políticos de este país con el objetivo de atraer el voto latino.
"Creo que vamos a ver más y más congresistas que no son hispanos usar tanto el español como el inglés", dijo la presidenta del Instituto de Liderazgo Hispano en el Congreso (CHLI), Mary Ann Gómez, durante un evento en el Capitolio para presentar el informe "El español en la política de EE.UU", publicado cada dos años por el laboratorio de ideas español The Hispanic Council.
La fundadora de Fuentes Strategies y exjefa de gabinete en la Cámara de Representantes, Jennice Fuentes, dijo que el bilingüismo "es una ley, no un favor que se le debe hacer a nadie".
Fuentes explicó que, de acuerdo al Título VI del Acta de Derechos Civiles de 1964, cualquier empresa que recibe asistencia federal debe ofrecer sus servicios en un idioma que pueda entender la gente que no habla inglés.
En la Cámara de Representantes, sin embargo, apenas 74 congresistas de los 441 que ocupan un escaño -el 16,8 %- usan el español en sus comunicaciones digitales
En el Senado las cifras son algo más altas: de 100 senadores, 28 utilizan el español para comunicarse con sus votantes a través de publicaciones en internet o por redes sociales.
"Tradicionalmente ha habido más conciencia por parte de los demócratas de interactuar con los hispanos pero yo creo que eso se ha superado, y yo creo que cada vez más tanto los republicanos como los demócratas son más conscientes de la importancia del voto hispano", aseguró Ureña a Efe.
