About us
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform, revitalize – and when necessary, defend – our country's systems of democracy and justice. At this critical moment, the Brennan Center is dedicated to protecting the rule of law and the values of Constitutional democracy. We focus on voting rights, campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving our liberties while also maintaining our national security. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.

¿Cómo se traduce #Gerrymandering en español? Manipulación de distritos electorales. La manipulación de distritos electorales es la práctica de trazar distritos electorales para favorecer a un partido político o grupo racial. Manipula los resultados de las elecciones, hace que las contiendas electorales sean menos competitivas, perjudica a las comunidades no blancas y va en contra de la voluntad de las personas votantes. #BrennanEnEspañol #ElGlosario https://lnkd.in/gwjc9VcP
