League of Women Voters seeks ‘trainers’ for redistricting issue

The nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Washington is organizing free “train-the-trainer” sessions to teach people how to help others make a difference. The goal is to get residents ready to tell the five-member Washington State Redistricting Commission how district boundaries for elected officials should be drawn in the spring of 2021.

The League is recruiting volunteers to train Speak-up School leaders to prepare the public to testify, and is seeking people who can represent Southwest Washington’s broad cultural, ethnic, political and religious diversity.
