Fight for Fair Maps.
The new redistricting cycle is under way. Texas and other states begin this week to redraw congressional lines. In Texas, the state legislature released its first redistricting map and even though Latinos and Blacks drove the population growth for tha last decade and made Texas win two seats in Congress, they lost a Latino-majority and a Black-majority district each in the new map. A voting rights advocate warns if the maps are not corrected, they will end up in court.
Guest: Lydia Camarillo, President, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project and William C. Velasquez Institute, Los Angeles, CA
