DESCRIPTION:Draw the Line: Why Fair Maps Matter\nA Conversation on Redistricting\, Representation\, and Reform \nLincoln Forum and the Union League Club of Chicago invite you to a timely breakfast panel exploring the complex and critical issue of gerrymandering and its impact on political representation.
