National Civil Rights Conference will highlight Asa Gordon‘s advocacy for the MalApportionment Penalty (MAP) initiative.

At long last, after a decade and a half of advocacy to enforce “the right to vote” MalApportionment Penalty (MAP) clause in Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (Amend. XIV§2), a clause that mandates proportional allocation of elected representatives based on the popular vote split, or for a state to suffer a “Reduction of Representation” pursuant to title 2 section 6 of the United States Code (2USC§6) for any abridgment of citizen voting rights , the MAP initiative (voting rights “Roots”) will be honored and featured in a National Conference for Civil Rights activists.

The Malapportionment Penalty(MAP) initiative will be highlighted at the 2016 National Civil Rights Conference (NCRC). http://www.civilrightsconference.com/home.html, June 19-22. 

The  MalApportionment Penalty initiative for the enforcement of voting rights pursuant to the Reduction of Representation clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, has now received establishment recognition by organizers of the Nation’s signature Civil Rights conference. The MAP initiative will be provided a major platform for exposure to civil rights advocates and academics by the invitation extended by The National Education and Empowerment Coalition, Inc to MAP advocate Asa Gordon.

Gordon is the Chair of the DC Statehood Green Party Electoral College Task Force and the Executive Director of the Douglass Institute of Government. Gordon served as a keynote speaker, will deliver a singular presentation at the conference and was granted two workshops at the 2016 National Civil Rights Conference (NCRC), June 19-22, in Meridian-Philadelphia, Mississippi with the conference theme: Rise, Advocate, Educate and Cooperate: Honoring the past and Embracing the Future.
