Today, Congressmen John Tanner (D-TN), Mike Castle (R-DE), and Allen Boyd (D-FL) proposed federal legislation that would substantially change the way congressional districts are drawn. The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, a national leader in the effort to draw fair districts, welcomed the return of the issue to national prominence.

The Brennan Center, George Mason University, and the Joyce Foundation are pleased to announce the release of A Citizen's Guide to Redistricting, authored by Brennan Center counsel Justin Levitt.
