Faith Organizers Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams tear into gerrymandering, breaking down the term’s definition, examples of it in action in Ohio, and outlining the impact it has on issues like abortion, the economy, and labor.

Drawing the connection between Ohio’s 2024 Yes on Issue 1 campaign and the (hopeful!) death of gerrymandering, Kelley and Terry explore the harm unfair legislative maps have done locally while looking forward to what a world without gerrymandering could look like in the Buckeye state.
