Lala Wu, the Cofounder and Executive Director of Sister District,

Lala Wu, the Cofounder and Executive Director of Sister District, an organization focused on building progressive political power via state legislative seats, discusses the outcome of the 2020 Census Data. Additionally, we discuss how the GOP has been able to use the census data over the past decade to build unfair redistricting maps, and use their power in state legislatures to create Draconian laws like the recent Texas Heartbeat abortion can. Lastly, we talk about what Democrats and Progressives can do to counter the Republican power grab.
