Monday June 20th - 2012 Project

The 2012 Project is a national, non-partisan campaign to increase the number of women in Congress and state legislatures by taking advantage of the once-in-a-decade opportunities of 2012.

This mission will be brought to Florida with the help of a coalition of state-based partners like you who are dedicated to women’s advancement in government, industries, and communities throughout the state. Together, the coalition will strategize how best to proceed to increase the number of women in office in Florida in 2012. The 2012 Project will convene an initial meeting for brainstorming a plan of action for the state in Tallahassee on June 20, 2011 at the House Office Building, Room 12. The meeting will be from 9am-12:30pm. The meeting is co-hosted by former state legislator Anne Mackenzie and former secretary of state and state legislator Sandy Mortham.

The meeting coincides with the first of a series of statewide public hearings held jointly by the House and Senate Committee on Reapportionment, beginning at 1pm at 412 Knott Building. We believe that increasing the number of women in office in 2012 also means paying close attention to how women legislators fare in redistricting decisions and monitoring opportunities created for potential women candidates by newly-drawn state and federal maps. Therefore, we invite those attending our meeting to join us at 1pm at the public hearing, where we plan to make our voice heard to remind committee members to consider the impact of their decisions on women in particular.

This meeting will act as the first convening of a potential coalition of women’s interests in the state around the effort of increasing women’s presence in political office. RSVP to Kelly Dittmar
kdittmar@rci.rutgers.edu or (732) 932-9384 ext. 269.

Monday June 20th - Redistricting Hearings in Tallahassee

Redistricting Hearings are scheduled to take place Monday, June 20th, in Room 412 of the Knott Building.
Fair Districts also wants to have a pre-event before each hearing (i.e., standing out in public waving signs before the hearings). We are working on a location now, possibly in front of the Old Capitol at the intersection of Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway.
