Last week, the US Supreme Court sent a message that the interests of politicians matter more than those of the people. This is unacceptable. #ICYMI the Court granted Texas’ request, allowing them to keep new gerrymandered maps in place for the 2026 congressional election. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat—&in doing so, she moved a nation. Seventy years later, her quiet courage reminds us that ordinary people, standing firm, make extraordinary change. The fight for justice isn’t over.

On the heels of our lawsuit, I collaborated with HeadCount executive director Lucille Wenegieme to share the value of nonpartisan third-party voter registration in light of restrictions that prohibit nonpartisan groups from registering voters & naturalization ceremonies. thehill.com/opinion/camp...
Ending voter registration at citizenship ceremonies tarnishes democracy
When it comes to registering voters, history has shown us one thing again and again: Government alone is not enough.

Today marks the longest government shutdown in US history and both sides of the aisle are feeling the effects. While politicians play games, real people are suffering.

Families can’t put food on the table. Critical services are grinding to a halt.

LWV calls on Congress: END THE SHUTDOWN NOW.

That statement is demonstrably false. When government officials deny documented reality, they erode public trust and undermine accountability. LWV believes in transparency, facts, and the constitutional rights of ALL Americans.

US citizens deserve the truth — and they deserve better.
Kristi Noem: “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.”
