In 2013, the US Supreme Court removed key protections of the Voting Rights Act in the decision of Shelby v. Holder. Since then, a surge of anti-voter bills have swept across our nation– with many being legalized. The League will not stand for this. We fight suppression. www.lwv.org/voting-right...

We went to court in April. On the last day of October, a federal court issued a decisive ruling in our favor. The President lacks authority to unilaterally alter election procedures—powers that rest with Congress and the states. When we fight, we win. Follow us. Join us. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

“The President’s suggestion that lawmakers should face death for upholding the rule of law is not political rhetoric — it’s an authoritarian threat that shatters every democratic norm. No leader in a functioning democracy invokes death as punishment for dissent.” Full statement: bit.ly/4icmmLn

Sometimes we agitate in state courts. [Utah trial court strikes down gerrymandered map.] Sometimes we go to federal court. LWV v DHS. Yes, we are nonpartisan. But when we defend the US Constitution, we are defending the backbone of this country—for all. bit.ly/4g5RcEq
