Immigrant Groups Push For Non-English Speakers To Have A Say As Texas Prepares To Redraw Political Districts

KUT Non-English speakers say language barriers have made it difficult to weigh in on the state s redistricting process. Latino and Asian American groups are working to change that as Texas lawmakers prepare to redraw political districts this year. Shirley Ronquillo is the cofounder of a resident-led civic group called the Houston Department of Transformation. She lives in a part of unincorporated Harris County that needs help with a lot of basic things. Flooding is a reoccurring problem. The area is a food desert, and clean water isn’t easy to come by. Ronquillo said the community frequently needs to boil their water to avoid getting sick, but boil-water notices usually go unnoticed among the predominately Spanish-speaking residents.
