Katie Fahey is an American activist who led the successful grassroots campaign to ban partisan gerrymandering in Michigan.
In all, VNP held 33 such meetings in as many days, asking people across the state how they thought a fair redistricting system should work.
With no physical home office and almost no funds, Fahey organized an estimated 4,000 volunteers who collected over 425,000 signatures from all 83 Michigan counties, and turned them in two months before the deadline.
[2] The campaign garnered attention from political figures such as former President Barack Obama and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and, as Election Day drew near, took in millions of dollars in donations.
"[7] Slay the Dragon, a documentary about Fahey and VNP produced by Participant Media, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on April 27, 2019.
[9] In March 2019, Fahey left VNP to serve as executive director of The People,[10] a national nonprofit that supports nonpartisan democratic reforms such as open primaries and ranked-choice voting.
