Hello All,

I am Sheila Blandon, interning with the Oakland Votes Redistricting Coalition, assisting with data entry and tonight's meeting. I currently reside in Oakland’s 6^th district and attend Peralta Community Colleges  with an interest in public policy. In the near future I would like to run for office to influence policies made in our local government that affect those living in under resourced communities. Now that you have learned a little about me, I would like to invite you to this Wednesday’s meeting so you could learn more about the redistricting project and how it affects you and your neighbors.

Please join me and the Oakland Votes Redistricting Coalition on Wednesday, September 18 at 6pm-8pm at the HUB in Downtown Oakland. (1423 Broadway). Light refreshments will be served by Rising Loafer.

For more information on redistricting please visit www.OaklandVotes.org.

I am excited to meet you all in person!

Thanks much in advance,

Sheila Blandon

P.S. Oakland Local just published an article about Oakland Reidistricting and how to be involved.
