If you’ve waited until now, you may need to wait in line.
Please poke your head in to let me know you’re here and then wait on the purple couch.

The advisor code is what gets you into Telebears.
If you are ‘blocked’ the AC is what you’ll need from me to be ‘unblocked’.

If declaring, remember to bring in your application to the major, the petition to declare, and your essay.
Please have your forms filled out before you come in. It will save lots of time.

5) Redistricting in TX
Redistricting in TX
Race and Representation: The 2012 Texas Redistricting Cases
Nina Perales, Vice President of Litigation, MALDEF
Friday, April 20, 2012
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Reception 6:00-6:30 pm
110 Boalt Hall, UC Berkeley School of Law
The Voting Rights Act requires that decennial redistricting not discriminate against minority voters. In 2011, the State of Texas enacted redistricting plans that failed to create new Latino-majority seats, despite the fact that there had been dramatic growth in Texas’ Latino population over the past decade. Nina Perales, Vice President of Litigation at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF) and lead attorney in recent successful cases against the State of Texas, describes the overt and covert discrimination embedded in the Texas redistricting process and the legal strategy and evidence that convinced the federal court that the plans are discriminatory. Using data, maps, depositions and legislative emails she demonstrates how Latinos were literally drawn out of political representation in Texas and the critical role of the courts in drawing them back in.
Please register as soon as possible. Seating is limited.
