Michael Li of the Bren­nan Center’s Democ­ra­cy Pro­gram opened Fri­day after­noon’s redis­trict­ing pan­el at Net­roots Nation by stat­ing that although there have been his­toric gains in this redis­trict­ing cycle, “There are many maps in the coun­try that are still wide­ly skewed in favor of the par­ty that drew them.”

This Fri­day morn­ing at Net­roots Nation, the con­ver­sa­tion at the Dis­in­for­ma­tion in the Vote pan­el focused on how such efforts dis­pro­por­tion­ate­ly tar­get non-Eng­lish-speak­ing communities.

Net­roots Nation 2022 kicked off Thurs­day with a live­ly keynote speech from a long list of elect­eds, advo­cates and activists in Penn­syl­va­nia politics.

Com­bat­ing dis­in­for­ma­tion and mis­in­for­ma­tion starts with track­ing where it is being spread and how far it’s reach­ing. That is the goal of Phil Newell and Alli­son Fish­er, two of Thurs­day after­noon’s pan­elists, at Media Matters.

Net­roots Nation’s “Defend­ers of Democ­ra­cy” pan­el on Thurs­day morn­ing focused on keep­ing per­son­al abor­tion care sto­ries on the fore­front of cam­paigns and advo­ca­cy this November.
