Democracy works best when voters understand the systems that shape representation and power. This week’s Fact Check Friday breaks down the difference between redistricting and gerrymandering because informed communities are empowered communities.
Redistricting is a necessary process designed to reflect population changes and ensure fair representation. Gerrymandering occurs when those district lines are manipulated to influence political outcomes or weaken the voices of certain communities.
Knowledge matters. Civic literacy matters. Your voice matters.

The Pittsburgh Chapter of the Links, Inc. was delighted to sponsor Karmyn Jefferson, from Mark Anthony’s Hair Salon, at Solo Salon as she conducted a hair care workshop for young girls called: My Crown, My Style: Where Confidence Begins at the Root.

The workshop was designed to teach young African American girls about how to care for their hair and in doing so, give them confidence and improve their self esteem.

With both lecture and hands on elements, this one-day workshop helped teenage girls better understand their hair texture and learn the do’s and don’ts to promote proper hair care.

Fact Check Friday ✔️

Let’s clear it up: tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries directly to the U.S. government. They’re paid by U.S. importers, and those costs often make their way back to us through higher prices.

Being informed is powerful. Understanding how policies impact our everyday lives helps us make better decisions, ask better questions, and stay engaged.

Stay curious. Stay aware. Stay empowered.

Fact Check Friday. 🗳️

There’s a common misconception that a U.S. President can “nationalize” elections or take control of state voting systems during an emergency. The Constitution says otherwise. Under Article I, Section 4, states hold primary authority over election procedures, and only Congress—not the President—has the power to make or alter those regulations through federal law.

An informed electorate is a powerful electorate.

Stay informed. Stay engaged.
