San Jose Latino groups rally in support of proposed Unity Map redistricting plan

There are several redistricting maps under consideration in San Jose, but local Latino leaders believe only one will uplift all voices — especially historically marginalized voices — and that is the Unity Map.

Representatives from several Latino and social justice organizations gathered this week to release an open letter urging the Citizen Redistricting Commission and elected to officials to “push back against voter suppression targeting Latinx neighborhoods and communities of color” by adopting the San Jose Unity Map.
