City Council Redistricting explainer with Sergei Kadinsky

Description

The proposed new districts divide up our local communities and dilute our electoral power and our representation in the City. Watch this video and check these links to learn how to protest these changes and advocate for your community. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/districting/index.page https://www.queensjewishlink.com/index.php/local/20-community-corner/by-sergey-kadinsky/6958-new-council-maps-threaten-our-electoral-gains https://www.queensjewishlink.com/index.php/local/79-community-corner/shabsie-saphirstein/7087-council-district-24-unites-around-hillcrest-amid-redistricting-concerns Maps: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/districting/maps/maps.page https://nyc.redistrictingandyou.org/?districtType=cc&propA=current_2013&propB=council_plan_july15prelim#%26map=9.85/40.72/-73.96 https://districtr.org/plan/136895 Our gratitude to Sergei Kadinsky for this video.
