UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
RALLY TO END GERRYMANDERING
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14
12:00 NOON
FOUNTAIN SQUARE
DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI
When politicians draw biased, ridiculously shaped voting districts to favor their own interests, it’s called gerrymandering – and Ohio is one of the 10 most gerrymandered states in the country. We need all WCC members to come – and bring family and colleagues – to Fountain Square on September 14 to show support, draw attention to this important issue, and learn more about it so you can get others to support it.
When retired Ohio Supreme Court Justice Maureen O’Connor spoke at WCC’s February 2023 program, she told us of her commitment to write this amendment and see it passed. Now it is up to us to help make that a reality.
Join your fellow citizens on Fountain Square to get factual information from inspiring leaders who helped write the amendment and are working to pass it. Featured presenters include Catherine Turcer, Executive Director of Common Cause Ohio, and Jen Miller, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio. The program also
includes videos and music. There will be tables on the Square where you can register to vote and get valuable information from local civic organizations.
This event is cosponsored by dedicated nonpartisan organizations working for democracy: Citizens Not Politicians, Common Cause Ohio, League of Women Voters of Ohio, Woman's City Club of Greater Cincinnati, and The Cincinnatus Association.

We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives— where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules. But as mathematician and data scientist, Cathy O’Neil reveals, the mathematical models being used today are unregulated and uncontestable, even when they’re wrong.
