 in our democracy.\nThis meeting will cover:\n\n\n 	What proportional repre
 sentation means and how it works\n 	How it differs from electoral systems 
 many voters are more familiar with\n 	What different approaches could mean
  for who gets represented\n 	What changes to the way representatives are e
 lected could mean for Black communities\, justice-impacted people\, commun
 ities of color\, and other groups that have often been underrepresented in
  elected office and political decision-making\n 	What different systems mi
 ght mean for the ability of communities to elect candidates who reflect th
 eir interests and experiences\n 	How different systems might affect the re
 lationship between voters\, representatives\, and political parties\n 	Com
 munity questions and discussion\n\nWhether you’ve only heard the term in
  passing or have been following the conversation for a while\, this is an 
 opportunity to learn\, ask questions\, challenge assumptions\, and better 
 understand the growing conversation about how representation itself is str
 uctured in our democracy.\nEvent DetailsFriday\, September 25\, 202612:30
