Redistricting provides an opening to shift power in Orange County at all levels of government. Starting in early 2021, OCCET will begin robust local organizing, research, mapping, and advocacy around redistricting with the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (CCRC), Orange County Board of Supervisors, and a number of city councils, school boards, and water boards countywide.
To ensure a progressive community voice in the redistricting process, OCCET established the People’s Redistricting Alliance, a multiracial coalition of community-based organizations and residents countywide. Centering the lived experiences and needs of low-income communities and working families, we will pursue maps and other redistricting outcomes that maximize opportunities for year-round organizing, policy advocacy, and narrative shifts that advance the progressive transformation of Orange County.

What is redistricting?
Redistricting is the process by which legislative district boundaries are re-drawn to reflect changes in population. Occurring every ten years after the census, it presents an opportunity to increase community voice in government and participation in the electoral process.
