Protest held in downtown Jacksonville Monday over redistricting, another one planned at state Capitol Tuesday.
Florida lawmakers are returning to the state’s Capitol Tuesday for a special session on redistricting.
Governor Ron DeSantis’ proposal shrinks District 5 which runs along the state’s northern border and is currently represented by U.S. Representative Al Lawson.“The governor’s proposed redistricting map is a sham and a scam,” Ben Frazier, with the Northside Coalition, said. “It’s unfair and unconstitutional. It’s an attack on black representation and an injustice to black voters.
“We are putting governor DeSantis on notice and we are going to let him know that come November will no longer be in the governor’s mansion. And we are stopping him in his tracks because he ain’t going to be our President of the United States,” Democratic State Representative Angie Nixon, of District 14, said.
