Miami, Florida - Redistricting Briefing - Protecting Minority Rights for the Next 10 Years - Thursday, Oct. 6th

New America Media, Event, Dana Levine, Posted: Oct 04, 2011

In the 2010 Census, Florida's population grew by nearly 18 percent -- far outpacing the national growth rate -- adding 2.8 million residents and two congressional seats. With Hispanics now comprising nearly a quarter of the state's population and blacks making up another 15 percent, Florida is on pace to overtake New York as the third most populous state in the 2020 Census. But despite vows of transparency in how congressional boundaries will be redrawn, and driven by fears that ethnic voters could swing Democratic, the GOP-dominated Florida legislature has not release redistricting maps to the public. This is raising concerns that the new plan could divide the Latino, African-American, and Asian populations and dilute their political strength. Learn how redistricting could increase or diminish minority voting power throughout Florida and what civic activists are doing to assure that new redistricting lines don't further dilute the power of black, Hispanic and Asian populations.

The Institute of Legal Reform (ILR) has tracked a tremendous rise in frivolous lawsuits targeting minority/Latino business owners in an effort to educate them so they do not fall victims to lawyers who will scare them into settling a “lawsuit” or threaten to take them to court over inflated or made up violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA).
