RHEDC and many other community based organizations petitioned the Redistriction Commission in 2012 as the then map, marginalized the RH/SOP communities.
The Redistricting Commission did a gross injustice to our community.
Our Now Sate Senator Roxanne Persaud was a part of the Redistricting Committee
Its all a matter of incumbency and you bet that the diminishing white population in the area will lobby hard to maintain status quo. By area I mean ALL the areas included in the districts within which RH/SOP are located.
Redistricting usually means that an incumbent loses. Charlie Rangel can tell you how his seat, which he always easily won, because a closely fought battle when redistricting (done to get rid of him because he had his financial scandals) resulted in loads of Dominicans being added.
Indo Caribs don't have the numbers, nor the degree of organization that Dominicans have. Dominicans are seen as a subset within the overall Hispanic population, which in another 20 years, will be the largest single voting bloc in NYC.
