Meeting

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed into law legislative district maps after Republicans approved them

This is an exciting day and a big win for the fair movement and hardworking activists across the state. For years, Wisconsin voters have been subject to partisan gerrymandering. The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is proud to stand alongside our partners and grassroots activists to celebrate this victory for democracy.

We've been fighting for fair maps because voters should pick their elected officials — not the other way around. 

As a member of the Fair Maps Coalition, the fight has always been about people – not parties.

Dr. Kate Edenbourg and Eli Darnell discuss the changes in journalism today.

As older print media is being replaced with news on the internet and social media, journalists have been forced to change alongside new innovations in communication technology. As the internet becomes more inseparable from everyday life, we become accustomed to living with it. The internet helps us save time and expand our reach, but it has also led to increased isolation, divisiveness, and the spread of misinformation. Have these changes been more helpful or harmful? Are Americans becoming more divided? What role has social media play in this? Are personalized news feeds spurring more radicalization and echo chambers? We have access to more information than ever before, why then doesn't this create a more informed citizenry? Is social media making it harder to avoid misinformation? What role should regulators play in regulating social media companies? These are some of the questions we will consider in this discussion.
