For the CRC to draft fair and representative&nbsp; Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and Board of Equalization district maps, we need&nbsp; communities to tell us about themselves and we also need 2020 Census data.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>States traditionally receive Census data by March 15. This year because of delays due to the pandemic,&nbsp; the Census Bureau announced that Census data used for redistricting would be delivered to states by&nbsp; September 30, 2021. The six-month Census data delay would make it impossible for the CRC to certify&nbsp; maps by the original deadline of August 15. As the nation began to shut down early last year because of&nbsp; COVID-19, California anticipated our deadlines would be derailed and provided a judicial extension for&nbsp; the CRC to conduct its redistricting responsibilities.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRC is working to create a new deadline for when the CRC must submit its final maps. We are&nbsp; working to develop a timeline that includes significant public input in the process and will take into&nbsp; account the pending deadlines for the 2022 elections.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we patiently wait for the arrival of United States Census data, Californians will have more time to&nbsp; provide the CRC with key testimony about their communities, including identifying how they are&nbsp; connected, where they are located, and if it is important to remain in the same district. On April 26,&nbsp; 2021, the U.S. Census Bureau released reapportionment numbers, the process of dividing the 435&nbsp; memberships, or seats, in the U.S. House of Representatives among the 50 states, announcing that&nbsp; California would be assigned 52 congressional seats, one less than we currently have. When drawing&nbsp; new electoral maps, the Commission must respect the boundaries of counties, cities and communities of&nbsp; interest, to the best of their ability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=600%2C382&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=600%2C382&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=360%2C229&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=370%2C236&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=20%2C13&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=185%2C118&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=400%2C255&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?resize=75%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CENSUS_PEDRO_TOLEDO_web.jpg?w=684&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The CRC is committed to creating an open, accessible, and transparent process for ALL Californians. To&nbsp; achieve this, we need you to describe your Communities of Interest (COI). Communities are groups of&nbsp; people with shared values and interests. Communities of interest can be a group of any size whose&nbsp; members share cultural, economic, historical, and\/or other shared interests. They are the people with&nbsp; who you work, play, and live. A community by geography is defined by place. A community by identity is&nbsp; defined by attributes. A community by affinity is defined by what we like. Individuals can belong to more&nbsp; than one community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, you can submit Communities of Interest input to the CRC through the Communities of&nbsp; Interest Mapping Tool (COI Tool), which is available at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.DrawMyCACommunity.org\">www.DrawMyCACommunity.org<\/a>. With a click of&nbsp; a mouse, this tool allows you to describe, draw, and send your input to the Commission. It is available to&nbsp; all Californians in multiple languages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage you to talk with our neighbors and others in your communities to identify what makes&nbsp; your community special? What is your community\u2019s identity? And what are the issues that bind you&nbsp; together? The CRC will use these community maps along with the Census data to draw the lines for 176 districts \u2013 4 State Boards of Equalization, 40 State Senate, 80 State Assembly, and 52 Congressional.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=500%2C338&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48931\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=600%2C406&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=360%2C244&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=768%2C520&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=370%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=800%2C541&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=185%2C125&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=740%2C501&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=20%2C14&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=400%2C271&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?resize=71%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 71w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Census_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to visit our website for more information about the CRC, the redistricting process and our&nbsp; upcoming business meetings: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.WeDrawTheLinesCA.org.\">www.WeDrawTheLinesCA.org.<\/a> There you will find our Community of&nbsp; Interest Tool, where you can electronically submit a map and tell us your story.
