Illinois is losing a seat in the U.S. House as a result of the 2020 Census. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to redistricting and political power.

Advocates like Syamala Krishnamsetty are pushing for redistricting reform, so people have more say in redrawing these political maps.
